Womens Gold Wetsuit

• 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.

The 12-month warranty on our products will become invalid if any of the following occur:

• damage to the product resulting from any cause other than defects in materials or workmanship;
• normal wear and tear from use, including scratches and fading;
• products classified as “sample” or sold with existing defects made known to the purchaser at the time of sale;
• alterations or repairs made to the product by a service other than Great Ocean Performance; or
