Care instructions:
.
  • DO: Once you have worn your wetsuit, wash out with cold water.
  • DO NOT: Rinse out with hot water or soap, as this will deteriorate the wetsuit product.
  • DO: if you have a wetsuit cleaning product, you can use this on your item, but would recommend to only use occasionally.
  • DO NOT: leave the suit without being washed for too long, as the smell will stay in the suit if not washed.
  • DO: once the wetsuit or wetsuit product is washed, hang the wetsuit in the shade.
  • DO NOT: hang the wetsuit in direct sunlight, as this will deteriorate the wetsuit product.
  • DO: when hanging the wetsuit, drape the wetsuit over something like a fence, rail or chair is best. Hanging from something thin can cut into the suit.
  • DO NOT: hang the wetsuit by the shoulder, via pegs or by a small hanger, as this will make the wetsuit stretch and loose its shape. Avoid hanging from the close line or draped over the line, as it can cut into the cut and leave a mark.
  • DO: store your steamer or springsuit by rolling it, as this will make it keep its shape.
  • DO NOT: store via hanging on a smaller hanger or by folding, as it will lose its shape.
  • DO: when taking off your wetsuit take care, stand on a towel or in a wetsuit bucket, to avoid getting things stuck in the suit or causing damage.
  • DO NOT: take off on a surface where things like rocks or sticks will get stuck, as these will damage the suit.
  • DO NOT: swim in chlorine pools or spas in your wetsuit or avoid doing so. Please know that once the wetsuit or wetsuit product has been worn in chlorinated water it avoids the warranty on the product.
