Troubleshooting
Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try a different size if necessary. Remember, a snug fit is intended, but it should not restrict breathing.
Zipper is difficult to close or open.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free any obstructions. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Chafing or irritation during use.
Ensure the seams are lying flat and not bunching. Consider wearing a rash guard underneath the wetsuit.
Wetsuit not drying quickly.
Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid wringing out the suit excessively, as this can damage the material. Hang in a well-aired space away from direct heat.
