Operation and care instructions for wetsuits

Dressing on the neoprene suit

• Open the zippers completely.
• Immediately before you slip into the suit with your arms and legs, you can use unscented talcum powder or water on the seals for the arms and legs to make it even easier to get into the suit. Before putting on, you must take off your wristwatch or jewelry items such as rings and bracelets, etc., so that the material – especially the cuffs – are not damaged. Also be careful with fingernails, they can also damage the material and cuffs.
• Let someone help you close the zipper, this way you will avoid damaging the suit or the zipper. The slider of the zipper must not bend to the pulling direction – this may lead to its destruction. For better operation, hold the zipper under tension at the bottom end with one hand.
• The wetsuit should now fit snugly. On land, the optimal wetsuit is almost uncomfortably tight, as any wiggle room would encourage water pockets and cause chafing.

Taking off the suit

• Open the zippers completely.
• However you take off your suit – make sure you don’t damage the cuffs.
• To remove the sleeves, do not fold the cuffs under any circumstances, but stretch them with one hand and then pull out the arm.
• The stripped suit now lies “pulled inside out” in front of you

Care instructions:

• After use, rinse the suit in clean fresh water to remove salt, chlorine and other contaminants.
• Drying the suit should be done at moderate temperatures and using a (possibly special) wide hanger.
• Under no circumstances should the neoprene be exposed to strong sunlight and high heat, e.g. from radiators.
• Occasionally the suit can be washed by hand using a neoprene detergent. Attention: Water temperature max. 30 °C, Do not wash in a washing machine, spin dry or tumble dry!

Storage and transportation:

• Store the suit at moderate temperatures and in the dry, hanging on a wide hanger. This will prevent the appearance of pressure points and wrinkles.
• During transport, you can avoid the occurrence of pressure marks and wrinkles by not placing heavy objects on the suit. Pack your suit at the top of your bag – preferably in a rolled state (with a little padding in the middle, such as a rolled towel), this will also prevent wrinkles.
• For long optical pleasure: do not store or transport the suit folded!
