Product Information
Full details
The Gul Wetsuit Shorties are designed for water sports enthusiasts who require a blend of flexibility and core thermal protection during warm-water activities. Featuring a streamlined, form-fitting silhouette with short arms and legs, these wetsuits are ideal for surfing, snorkeling, and swimming; however, they are specifically engineered for temperate or warm environments and will not provide sufficient insulation for cold-water conditions.

FAQs
Can I wear this in a swimming pool?
Yes, but be aware that chlorinated water can degrade wetsuit materials faster than salt water; rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately after.
Is this wetsuit machine washable?
No, machine washing will damage the neoprene and the seams. Always hand wash with fresh, cool water.
How do I choose the right size?
The suit should feel tight but not restrictive. Refer to the size guide based on your UK dress size for the best fit.
Does this suit offer UV protection?
While the material covers parts of the body, it is primarily for thermal regulation. Always apply sunscreen to exposed areas.
Can I use this for scuba diving?
These are generally best suited for surface water sports. For diving, where you stay deeper for longer, a thicker suit is usually required.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the zipper up
Ensure the internal flap is smoothed out behind the zipper path and check for sand or salt crystals inside the teeth.
Feeling too cold in the water
Verify that the fit is snug enough to prevent excessive water flushing; if loose, you may need a smaller size or warmer gear for your specific conditions.
Skin irritation or chafing
Apply a sports-grade anti-chafe balm to high-friction areas like the neck and underarms before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gul Wetsuit Shorties, proper care is essential:
- Fitting: When putting the suit on, ensure your skin is dry or damp, not soaking wet, to facilitate easier entry. Pull the material up over the hips before adjusting the torso and shoulders.
- Fastening: Adjust the neck and back closures to ensure a tight, comfortable seal that doesn't restrict breathing.
- Cleaning: Always rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use to remove salt, sand, and organic residue.
- Drying: Air dry the suit in the shade. Direct sunlight can degrade the material and cause the color to fade. Never use a tumble dryer or iron.
