Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the chest entry
Check for sand or salt build-up in the zipper track and rinse with fresh water. Ensure the suit is dry before storing to prevent internal salt crystallization.
Water flushing into the sleeves
Ensure the liquid tape cuff seals are seated correctly against your wrists and not folded over. Check that the inner lining is not bunched.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket lasts, always avoid folding or leaving it in direct sunlight, as UV rays can damage the natural rubber composition. After each use, perform a thorough rinse with cool, fresh water to remove salt crystals and bacteria. Hang the jacket inside-out on a wide plastic hanger in a shaded, well-ventilated area to dry; never use a wire hanger as it can deform the shoulder material. If you need to store it long-term, ensure it is completely dry to prevent mold growth on the thermal lining. Always check that the chest-zip is free of sand or debris before zipping up to ensure a smooth glide and prevent zipper teeth misalignment.
