Troubleshooting
Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wetsuits should be snug but not restrict breathing or major movement. Check sizing guides carefully. If it's a new suit, it may need a few wears to break in slightly.
Water leakage
Check that all seals at the neck, wrists, and ankles are flush against the skin. Ensure the zipper is fully closed. Minor leakage might occur initially but should decrease as the suit conforms to the body.
Material feels stiff after drying
Ensure the wetsuit is being dried out of direct sunlight. Mild stiffness can be normal; avoid excessive heat or harsh detergents during washing. A dedicated wetsuit conditioner can sometimes help restore flexibility.
Seams coming apart
Inspect seams for any damage. Small frays can sometimes be repaired with a wetsuit cement or by a professional. Significant seam failure may indicate the need for a replacement.
