Wetsuit Care

ALWAYS WASH WITH COLD WATER AND NO SOAP (DON’T PUT IT IN THE WASHING MACHINE NOR TUMBLE DRYER)
Neoprene wetsuits require special care. It is vital to wash them carefully in order to remove all salt, sand and other residues before leaving them to dry.

ALWAYS LEAVE TO DRY STRETCHED OUT OR FOLDED IN HALF IN THE SHADE – NEVER IN THE SUN
After washing, wetsuits must be left to dry as mentioned, starting by turning them inside out. Please remember the sun and heat are the worst enemies of neoprene. Wetsuits must never be left to dry under direct sunlight, which can damage its inner lining and even cause it to detach.

HANDLE IT GENTLY SO IT LASTS LONGER
Suits must be removed gently, always using a mat or bucket. Beware of your fingernails, which can rip the neoprene. Please don’t overstretch the neoprene, as it can tear threads and seams. In the summer or in hot weather, it is vital to remove the suit from the car once you arrive at your destination. Wetsuits must always be stored hanging, without folding. Don’t remove the surf wax as you can damage the neoprene when attempting to remove the wax.

NECK “DISCOMFORT”

If you feel any discomfort in the neck area, we advise you to use a cream to avoid any kind of rash in the neck area.

Breaking Your Wetsuit In

A brand new wetsuit requires a break in phase and so we recommend you try your wetsuit in the water. Do not panic if your wetsuit feels too snug at first – neoprene naturally feels more snug on first wear, but will certainly break in after a few sessions. The more you utilize the wetsuit, you will notice that it molds to your body.
