Whether you’re riding your first waves or diving deep into the underwater world, one thing is clear: your wetsuit is more than just equipment – it’s your faithful companion on every adventure. But how do you ensure that this friendship lasts? Here is your ultimate guide to caring for your wetsuit so that you and your wetsuit can enjoy many sessions together.
Why the right care is important
A well-maintained wetsuit is not only a sign of respect for your equipment, but also a contribution to environmental protection. By extending the life of your suit, you reduce waste and protect our playground – the ocean.
Cleaning – Keep it clean
Your wetsuit should be rinsed thoroughly with fresh water after each use. Avoid drying it in the sun, as UV rays can damage the material. Instead, hang it up in the shade and make sure it is completely dry before you put it away.
Storage – better hanging than lying down
Avoid storing your wetsuit folded for long periods of time, as this can lead to permanent creases and breaks in the material. It is 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. You can repair a lot of damage yourself with a little neoprene adhesive. It is important that you act quickly to prevent them from getting bigger.
