Troubleshooting
Suit is not fully waterproof
Ensure all zippers and seams are properly sealed. Check for any damage to the fabric or taped seams. Follow care instructions to maintain the waterproof membrane.
Suit feels too cold
Layer appropriate insulating clothing underneath. The suit provides protection, but warmth is enhanced with base and mid-layers suitable for the ambient temperature. Ensure the fit is not too tight, which can restrict circulation.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax stick to the zipper track to improve smoothness.
Suit feels restrictive
Adjust the belt in the waist for a better fit. Ensure the size purchased is appropriate for your body measurements, allowing for movement and layering.
