FAQs

What is NatuR(r) BEYOND natural rubber?

NatuR(r) BEYOND is an eco-friendly natural rubber derived from sustainable sources, used in this wetsuit to provide flexibility and a reduced environmental impact compared to traditional neoprene.

How much stretch does the upper material offer?

The X-Flex upper material offers 150% stretch, allowing for a very high degree of movement and flexibility, ideal for paddling and swimming.

Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?

The RESPONSE 32 SHORTI is designed for temperate conditions like British summers and early autumn. For very cold water, a thicker wetsuit with more coverage would be more appropriate.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The RevoFit 3D patterning is designed for a body-mapped women's fit. Ensure the wetsuit is snug but not constricting. There should be no significant baggy areas, especially around the torso, arms, and legs.

What is the purpose of the seam-free seat panel?

The seam-free seat panel is designed to reduce chafing and increase comfort, particularly during extended periods of sitting or paddling, and to prevent wear in this high-friction area.

Can I wash my wetsuit in a washing machine?

No, you should never machine wash or tumble dry your wetsuit. Always rinse with fresh water and dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.

What is the main benefit of the Pro GlideSkin collar?

The Pro GlideSkin collar helps to create a tighter seal around the neck, reducing the amount of cold water that flushes into the wetsuit, thereby improving comfort and warmth.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit is difficult to put on or take off

Ensure the back zipper is fully open. Try putting it on with damp skin (a little water can act as a lubricant) or using a specialized wetsuit lubricant. Ensure you are using the correct size and have fully extended the legs and arms before pulling the torso section up.

Water flushing into the wetsuit

Check that the back zipper is fully closed and the Pro GlideSkin collar is snug around your neck. Ensure the wetsuit fits snugly all over; a wetsuit that is too loose will allow water to enter easily. Check all seams and the zipper area for any potential leaks.

Material feels stiff or loses elasticity

This can happen if the wetsuit is not rinsed properly after use or is dried in direct sunlight. Always rinse with fresh water and dry in the shade. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat.

Zipper is difficult to operate or corroded

Rinse the zipper area thoroughly with fresh water. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of beeswax or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
