FAQs
Is this suit suitable for cold water surfing?
The Animal Slater Wetsuit is designed as a lightweight suit and is best suited for warmer water temperatures rather than extreme cold.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to standard sizing charts and ensure a snug fit, as the polyester material offers a degree of flexibility for movement.
Can I machine wash this wetsuit?
No, you should never machine wash or tumble dry your wetsuit. Always hand wash with fresh water and air dry in the shade.
Does the zipper require special maintenance?
Keep the zipper free of sand and salt by rinsing it thoroughly after each use. A specialized zipper wax can be used if it becomes difficult to slide.
Is the material chlorine resistant?
While durable, the material is primarily designed for aquatic activities. Rinsing it thoroughly after exposure to chlorine in pools will help extend its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the back closure
Ensure the suit is pulled up fully and aligned correctly before attempting to zip. If the zipper feels stiff, check for sand or salt buildup and rinse.
Suit feels restrictive
Check that the suit is properly centered on the body. Ensure the seams are aligned with your shoulders and hips to allow for full range of motion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your suit remains in top condition, always rinse it with fresh, cold water immediately after every use to remove salt, chlorine, and sand. Avoid drying the wetsuit in direct sunlight, as UV exposure can degrade the material and elasticity over time; instead, hang it in a shaded, well-ventilated area. When putting on the suit, avoid using sharp fingernails near the fabric to prevent accidental punctures or tears. Store the suit on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the neck and shoulders.
