Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The ABS Chest Zip Entry requires a specific technique for donning and doffing to ensure a secure fit and longevity. Ensure the zip is fully unzipped, step into the wetsuit, pull it up evenly, and then secure the zip flap. For doffing, reverse the process.
Compatibility: This wetsuit is designed for surfing and is compatible with general watersports where flexibility and thermal insulation are key. It is not intended for high-impact activities or prolonged submersion in extreme depths.
Care:
- Rinse: Always rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after each use, inside and out, to remove salt, chlorine, and sand.
- Washing: Hand wash only using a mild, wetsuit-specific shampoo or conditioner. Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
- Drying: Hang dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Never tumble dry or iron.
- Storage: Store loosely folded or hung on a padded hanger. Avoid creasing or storing in damp conditions.
- Repairs: For minor tears or seam separations, use a wetsuit repair adhesive. Consult a professional for significant damage.
