Product Information
Full details
The Gul Wetsuit Shorties are designed for water sports enthusiasts who need a balance of thermal protection and maximum mobility in warm-water environments. These wetsuits offer a form-fitting design that preserves core warmth while keeping the arms and legs free for swimming, surfing, or paddleboarding. It is an excellent choice for active users, though it is specifically engineered for milder temperatures and does not provide the full-body coverage required for cold-water excursions.

FAQs
Can I wear this in a heated pool?
Yes, but be aware that the thermal properties may cause you to overheat if the water temperature is very high.
Does this provide protection against jellyfish?
It provides a layer of protection for the areas covered, but limbs will remain exposed.
Is this machine washable?
No, never machine wash your wetsuit. Hand wash it with cold, fresh water only.
How should the suit fit?
The suit should feel snug like a second skin without restricting your breathing or ability to move your arms freely.
Can this be used for scuba diving?
This shorty is designed for warm-water surface activities and is generally not recommended for scuba diving, which usually requires thicker, full-length insulation.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the back closure
Ensure the internal flap is smoothed out flat before pulling the zipper upward; applying a small amount of zipper wax can also improve ease of use.
Suit feels too loose in the water
Verify the sizing selection; if the suit is already your size, adjust the neck and chest fastening system to create a tighter seal against the skin.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior flexibility compared to full-length suits
- Provides essential core warmth in mild water
- Easy to put on and remove due to the short-limbed design
- Adjustable fit ensures the suit stays in place during activity
Cons
- Not suitable for cold-water environments
- Offers less UV protection for limbs than full-body wetsuits
- Exposed skin is subject to scrapes or stings
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gul Wetsuit maintains its longevity, rinse it thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use to remove salt, sand, or chlorine. When drying, always hang the suit on a wide, plastic hanger in the shade, as direct sunlight can degrade the neoprene material over time. Avoid using a dryer or leaving the suit in a folded, damp state, as this can encourage mold and weaken the seams. For the best fit, ensure you select your size based on standard dress measurements, as the snug, form-fitting design is essential for effective thermal performance.
