FAQs

What is the best way to clean the wetsuit?

Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water after each use. Use a wetsuit shampoo occasionally to remove any lingering odors or residue.

How should I dry the wetsuit?

Hang the wetsuit inside out in a shaded area to dry. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can damage the neoprene.

What temperature range is this wetsuit suitable for?

The Alder Stealth 5/4/3 Wetsuit is designed for use in temperatures from 5°C to 10°C. For colder temperatures, consider using additional accessories or a thicker wetsuit.

Can I repair a small tear in my wetsuit?

Yes, small tears can often be repaired using neoprene glue. Ensure the area is clean and dry before applying the glue.

How do I store the wetsuit when not in use?

Store the wetsuit in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid folding it sharply, as this can damage the neoprene.

What is the warranty on this wetsuit?

Warranty information is not available in the provided text. Refer to the manufacturer's warranty information for details.

What is the difference between glued and blindstitched seams?

Glued and blindstitched seams are a construction method that enhances the wetsuit's water resistance and durability. The seams are glued together and then blindstitched, creating a strong and watertight seal.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit is difficult to put on.

Ensure you are using the correct size, and try using a wetsuit lubricant to help with entry.

Water is entering the suit.

Check the zip closure and ensure it is fully sealed. Also, check for any tears or damage to the seams.

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.

Check the size; the suit should fit snugly but not restrict movement. Consider sizing up if necessary.

Wetsuit is losing warmth.

Check for any leaks, make sure the suit is rinsed and dried after each use, and consider using thermal layers for extra insulation.

Zip is sticking.

Rinse the zip with fresh water and apply a wetsuit-specific lubricant to ease the action.
