FAQs
Is this wetsuit suitable for winter swimming?
This wetsuit is made of lightweight polyester and is designed for temperate water activities; it may not provide sufficient warmth for freezing winter temperatures.
How should I wash the wetsuit?
Rinse with fresh, cool water after each use. Do not tumble dry, iron, or use harsh detergents.
Does the suit provide sun protection?
While the coverage of the suit provides physical protection from the sun, it is always recommended to use sunscreen on exposed skin.
Can I store the suit while it is still damp?
It is best to allow the suit to dry completely in the shade to prevent odors and fabric degradation.
How do I secure my key in the pocket?
The small concealed pocket is designed for a standard house or car key; ensure it is pushed all the way into the pocket to prevent it from slipping out during movement.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping up the suit.
Ensure the suit is pulled up fully and aligned at the torso. Check for sand or debris in the teeth of the zipper.
Zipper feels stiff.
Rinse the zipper mechanism thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt crystals and apply a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
Suit feels restrictive during movement.
Ensure the suit is properly positioned on the shoulders and that the adjustable neckline is not fastened too tightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Wetsuit, always rinse it with fresh, cool water after every use, especially after exposure to saltwater or chlorine. Avoid leaving the suit in direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods, as this can degrade the polyester material over time. When storing, allow the suit to dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area—avoid folding it while damp to prevent mildew. The back zip is designed for ease of use, but ensure no sand or debris is lodged in the zipper track before closing to prevent jamming. If the suit feels tight, ensure you have properly adjusted the crew neckline to distribute tension evenly across the shoulders.
