Gul Dartmouth Junior Drysuit - Black

The Eclip Zip system is Gul's innovative entry system that combines a high-quality YKK Aquaseal dry zip with a protective Velcro zip guard. This design offers superior waterproofing while making it easier for users to don and doff the drysuit independently.

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each use. Hand wash with mild soap if needed. Dry completely away from direct heat. Regularly clean and lubricate the YKK Aquaseal zip with a silicone-based lubricant.

Wear thin, moisture-wicking thermal layers. Avoid bulky clothing that could restrict movement or interfere with the seals. The drysuit itself provides the primary waterproofing.

The integrated latex socks are designed for durability but can be damaged. While not always easily user-replaceable, significant damage to seals or socks may require professional repair or consideration of a new suit.

The drysuit uses a 3-layer GCX3 fabric construction, which is engineered to be waterproof yet allow water vapor (sweat) to escape from the inside, keeping the wearer more comfortable during physical activity.

Yes, it provides excellent waterproof protection. For cold weather, it's essential to layer appropriate thermal clothing underneath to maintain body heat, as the drysuit itself is not insulated.

Keep the zip clean by rinsing it with fresh water after each use. Ensure it is fully closed and that the protective Velcro guard is in place. Periodically apply a silicone-based lubricant designed for drysuit zips to maintain its integrity and ease of use.

Check that the YKK Aquaseal zip was fully closed and the Velcro zip guard was properly secured. Inspect neck and wrist seals for a snug fit and ensure no gaps exist. Ensure the suit was thoroughly dried before storage, as residual moisture can make it feel damp.

Clean the YKK Aquaseal zip with fresh water and a mild soap. Ensure there is no sand, salt, or debris caught in the zip teeth. Apply a silicone-based drysuit zip lubricant and work the zip back and forth gently.

Ensure the Glide Skin neck and wrist seals are clean and free from debris. Adjust the Velcro straps for a tighter, more secure fit. If seals are visibly damaged or lose elasticity, they may need replacement.

Try wearing thin, smooth socks underneath the latex socks to reduce friction. Ensure the suit size is correct; if the socks are fundamentally too small for the user's feet, consider a larger suit size or alternative footwear solutions.
