FAQs

What is the intended water temperature range for this wetsuit?

This thermal wetsuit is best suited for colder water, generally between 8°C and 18°C. However, individual tolerance and the intensity of the activity will influence comfort.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements. A proper fit is crucial for warmth and performance, ensuring the suit is snug but not restrictive.

Can this wetsuit be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It is best to hand wash with fresh water or a mild, wetsuit-specific cleaner.

Is this wetsuit suitable for diving?

Yes, it can be used for shallow or cooler water diving as an additional thermal layer. For deeper or longer dives, a dedicated dive suit may be more appropriate.

How should I store my wetsuit when not in use?

Store it hanging on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.

What is the main benefit of a 'full' wetsuit?

A full wetsuit provides maximum coverage, protecting the entire body from cold water, wind chill, and minor abrasions.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit is difficult to put on.

Ensure the wetsuit is completely dry. Try putting it on gradually, starting with feet and hands, and using the palms of your hands to help it slide up. A plastic bag over feet can sometimes help.

Water leakage at seams or zippers.

Check that the zipper is fully closed and the flap behind it is correctly positioned. Ensure the wetsuit fits snugly; minor leakage can occur with movement but should resolve as the water warms.

Reduced thermal performance over time.

Ensure the wetsuit is properly cleaned and dried after each use. Check for any damage to the neoprene or seals. Regular rinsing with fresh water is essential.

Material feels stiff or degraded.

This can occur with prolonged exposure to UV light or improper storage. Ensure the wetsuit is stored away from direct sunlight and heat, and consider using a neoprene care product if recommended by the manufacturer.
