Wetsuit care and use

Take your time. A wetsuit can take up to 10 minutes to put on properly.
Suit up dry, both you and the suit.
Remove your sports watch.
Use the cotton gloves supplied. No nails on the neoprene.
Pull from inside the suit where possible, in large folds. Small pinches damage the neoprene.
Get the suit fully over your hips before pulling it over the shoulders. No bunching at the legs.
Pull the cuffs up your forearm slightly. More neoprene at the shoulders means more flex through the stroke.
On longer legs, the suit may finish halfway up the calf. That's by design, and it speeds up your transition.
Anti-chafe lube on your neck. Non-petroleum based only. Petroleum will damage the neoprene over time.

Fully unzip before pulling off each shoulder.
Remove your sports watch.
Pull from inside the suit. Never pinch with fingernails.
Sit on a changing mat or towel so the neoprene isn't on a rough surface as you pull it off your ankles.

Rinse in fresh water after every swim. The shower works fine.
pH-neutral soap or antibacterial wipes on the neck if you've used anti-chafe lubricant.
Cover the Velcro with the protective patch supplied, or fasten the Velcro to itself, so it doesn't catch the lining.
Dry inside-out, out of direct sun.
Store dry. Fold the way we show in the video, or hang on a wide suit hanger. Never wire hangers, they warp the shoulders.
Use non-petroleum based anti-chafe lubricant only. Petroleum degrades the neoprene and voids the warranty.
Avoid chlorinated pools. Chlorine degrades the neoprene and may void the warranty.
