FAQs
What is the ideal water temperature for this suit?
This wetsuit is optimized for temperatures between 51-58 F (8-12 C).
How do I store the wetsuit?
Hang the suit on a thick, plastic wetsuit hanger in a cool, dark place to avoid UV damage and neoprene deformation.
Can I use this suit in warmer water?
Using this 5/4mm suit in temperatures above its recommended range will likely lead to overheating.
Is this wetsuit machine washable?
No, you should never machine wash or tumble dry your wetsuit. Always hand wash with fresh, cool water.
Why is it called a 5-4 suit?
The '5' refers to the 5mm thickness of neoprene on the core for warmth, while the '4' refers to the 4mm thickness on the arms and legs for mobility.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty closing the chest zip
Ensure the internal flap is smoothed out completely and not bunched up before pulling the outer zipper across.
Water flushing through the neck
Check that the neck gasket is sitting flush against your skin and that the chest flap is pulled high enough to cover the seal.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior warmth for cold-water conditions
- High-stretch nylon material for unhindered paddling
- Minimalist chest zip design improves seal efficiency
- Durable build quality built for frequent use

- Specific temperature range limitation

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To put the suit on, step into the leg openings first, then pull the suit up to your waist before inserting your arms. Once the arms are in, pull the chest panel over your head and secure the zipper flap firmly to ensure a flush-free seal.
Care Instructions:
- Rinse thoroughly with cold, fresh water after every use.
- Hang to dry in a shaded area away from direct sunlight, which can crack the neoprene.
- Avoid using harsh detergents; only use wetsuit-specific cleaners if necessary.
- Do not store the suit folded for long periods; use a wide hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders.
