Extended Product Information

FAQs

What temperature range is this suit rated for?

It is optimized for cold water between 44 - 53° F (8 - 12° C).

How do I ensure a good fit?

The suit should feel like a second skin with no large folds or excess material in the armpits or crotch area.

Can I leave my wetsuit in the car?

No, excessive heat in a vehicle can delaminate the seams and degrade the neoprene foam permanently.

Is the material sustainable?

Yes, it uses limestone-based neoprene, dope-dyed fabric, and solvent-free lamination.

Why is the chest zip preferred over a back zip?

A chest zip eliminates the rigid zipper on the spine, allowing for a much better range of motion and a more secure water seal.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty getting the suit on

Ensure your skin is dry before entering and use a plastic bag over your feet to help them slide through the leg openings.

Water flushing into the neck area

Check that the Glideskin neck seal is lying flat against your skin with no hair or suit lining caught underneath the seal.

Stiff or 'crusty' neoprene

This is usually salt buildup. Soak the suit in fresh water for an hour to loosen the crystals and rinse thoroughly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior warmth provided by 5/4mm thickness and thermal lining
  • High-stretch material allows for excellent paddle mobility
  • Eco-friendly manufacturing processes
  • Effective water-flush prevention with Glideskin and liquid tape seals
  • Easy-access chest zip design

Cons

  • Heavier than 3/2mm wetsuits due to thickness
  • Requires significant care to avoid damaging the lining
  • Performance fit may feel restrictive if sized incorrectly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your suit, always step into it rather than pulling it over your head to avoid stressing the chest zip seams. Ensure your nails are trimmed to prevent punctures in the neoprene.

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cool water after every single use to remove salt and debris.
  2. Hang the wetsuit inside out on a wide, plastic wetsuit hanger to dry in the shade; never leave it in direct sunlight, as UV rays break down neoprene.
  3. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
  4. Ensure the wetsuit is completely dry before storing it in a cool, dark place.
