Product Information
Full details
The Gul Wetsuit Shorties are designed for young swimmers seeking reliable thermal protection without sacrificing mobility. Ideal for recreational swimming, surfing, or water play, these suits feature a short-sleeve and short-leg cut to ensure maximum range of motion. While they offer excellent core warmth and comfort, users should note that they are best suited for warmer water conditions due to their partial-coverage design.

FAQs
Can these be worn in a swimming pool?
Yes, they are suitable for pool use, provided you rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh water afterward to remove chlorine.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the specific size guide for the UK children's sizing; the suit should fit snugly like a second skin without being overly restrictive.
Are these suitable for winter swimming?
No, these are 'shorties' and are intended for warmer water or summer conditions. They do not provide the full coverage required for winter temperatures.
Can I use fabric softener to clean the suit?
No, never use detergents, bleaches, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the neoprene and the suit's elasticity.
How should I store the suit for the off-season?
Store the suit flat or on a wide, plastic hanger in a cool, dark place to maintain the shape and prevent material breakdown.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull
Check for sand or debris in the zipper track. Rinse with fresh water and clear any obstructions; do not force the zipper if it is snagged.
Suit feels loose or is chafing
Ensure the suit is pulled up properly to fit snugly against the skin; an ill-fitting suit may lead to water flushing, which reduces insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gul Wetsuit Shorties, always rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after each use to remove salt or chlorine. Avoid leaving the suit in direct sunlight for long periods, as UV rays can degrade the neoprene over time. When drying, hang the suit in a shaded, well-ventilated area, avoiding wire hangers that may stretch the shoulder fabric. Ensure the zipper is closed before storing, and never machine wash or tumble dry the garment.
