The Ultimate Guide to Caring for your Wetsuit

Whether you’re riding your first waves or diving deep into the underwater world, one thing is clear: your wetsuit is more than just a piece of equipment – it’s your faithful companion on every adventure. But how do you make sure this friendship lasts? Here is your ultimate guide to wetsuit care so that you and your wetsuit can enjoy many sessions together.

Why Proper Care is Important

A well-maintained wetsuit is not only a sign of respect for your gear, but also a contribution to environmental protection. By extending the lifespan of your suit, you reduce waste and protect our playground – the ocean.

Cleaning – Keep it Clean

After every use, your wetsuit should be thoroughly rinsed with fresh water. Avoid drying it in the sun, as UV rays can damage the material. Instead, hang it in the shade and make sure it’s completely dry before storing it away.

Storage – Hang, Don’t Fold

Avoid storing your wetsuit folded for extended periods, as this can lead to permanent creases and cracks in the material. It’s best to hang it on a wide hanger in a dry, cool room.

Repair

Small tears or holes in your wetsuit are no reason to panic. With a little neoprene glue, you can repair many damages yourself. It’s important to act quickly to prevent them from getting bigger.
