Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this wetsuit made of traditional neoprene?
No, it is 100% neoprene-free, utilizing a bio-based foam made from FSC-certified natural rubber and soybean oil.
How do I best dry the suit?
Hang it on a wide hanger in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight as UV rays can damage the bio-based rubber.
Can I use this in very cold water?
The 2/2 mm thickness is primarily designed for temperate or moderate water temperatures; it may not provide enough insulation for extreme cold.
Why are oyster shells used in the suit?
Oyster shell powder is integrated into the bio-foam as a sustainable additive to help improve the structural integrity and performance of the rubber.
How often should I rinse the suit?
You should rinse the wetsuit with fresh water after every single use to prevent salt damage and extend the life of the material.
Troubleshooting
Water flushing at the neck
Ensure the Glideskin seal is lying flat against your skin without any hair or suit fabric trapped underneath.
Difficulty getting into the suit
Use a plastic bag over your feet to help them slide through the leg openings more easily.
Stiffening of the material
Ensure you are rinsing the suit thoroughly after every session; salt buildup can crystallize and stiffen the natural rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Natural Seas wetsuit, follow these best practices:
- Entry: Enter the suit feet first, pulling it up slowly to avoid stretching the material unnecessarily.
- Rinsing: Always rinse the interior and exterior thoroughly with fresh, cool water immediately after use to remove salt and minerals.
- Drying: Hang the wetsuit on a wide, wetsuit-specific hanger in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the natural rubber.
- Storage: Do not store the suit in direct sun or hot environments, as the bio-based foam is sensitive to extreme heat.
