FAQs

Is this suit suitable for winter swimming?

No, this is a 3mm shortjohn designed for warm-water use. It does not provide the insulation needed for winter or cold-water swimming.

Can I wash this in a washing machine?

Never use a washing machine. Hand wash only with fresh, cool water.

What is the benefit of the Shortjohn style?

The Shortjohn style offers maximum shoulder and arm mobility, making it perfect for paddle sports and swimming where arm fatigue is a concern.

How should I store my wetsuit?

Store it in a cool, dry, dark place on a wide hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders.

Is the rubber really sustainable?

Yes, it uses FSC-certified NatuR(r) BEYOND natural rubber, which is a more sustainable alternative to traditional neoprene.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty getting into the suit

Ensure the suit is completely dry before putting it on, or use a plastic bag over your feet and hands to help them slide through the openings.

Chafing around the neck or arms

Apply a small amount of wetsuit-safe anti-chafe balm to the Glideskin areas before entering the water.

Velcro is not sticking well

Check the velcro for sand or salt crystals and rinse with fresh water; if the hook-and-loop becomes fuzzy, gently remove the debris with a brush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eco-friendly construction using sustainable natural rubber
  • High level of flexibility for unrestricted movement
  • Easy on and off entry system
  • Comfortable lining prevents chafing

Cons

  • Shortjohn design leaves arms exposed to sun and cold
  • Flatlock seams are not fully watertight compared to blind-stitched options
  • Not intended for extreme cold-water conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your wetsuit, always rinse it with fresh, cool water after every use to remove salt and debris. Avoid using harsh detergents or hot water, as these can degrade the rubber. When drying, keep the suit out of direct sunlight and avoid hanging it on thin wire hangers, which can stretch the shoulder material; instead, use a wide plastic hanger. For setup, use the velcro shoulder entry system carefully to avoid snagging the sensitive interior liners. Store the suit in a cool, dry, and flat location when not in use for extended periods.
