Full details
The Gul Response 3/2mm Shorti Wetsuit is an ideal choice for young watersports enthusiasts looking for a versatile balance of performance and affordability. Designed for comfort and movement, it features super-stretch panels and flatlock stitching, making it perfect for swimming, surfing, or beach play. Note that as a shorty wetsuit, it offers less thermal protection for the arms and legs compared to a full-length suit, making it best suited for warmer water temperatures.

FAQs
What does 3/2mm mean?
It refers to the neoprene thickness, with 3mm used in the chest and back for core warmth, and 2mm used in the arms and legs for increased flexibility.
Is this suit suitable for winter?
No, this is a shorty wetsuit designed for warmer water temperatures. It does not provide enough coverage for cold weather.
How should the wetsuit fit?
It should feel like a second skin. It should be snug, but not so tight that it restricts your movement or breathing.
Can I wear this in a pool?
Yes, but be sure to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water afterward to remove pool chemicals which can degrade the neoprene.
What is the best way to repair a small tear?
Use a neoprene-specific adhesive (often called Black Witch) to glue the torn edges back together securely.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the suit on or off
Ensure the suit is dry before putting it on, or use a plastic bag over your feet and hands to slide through the cuffs more easily.
Chafing around the neck
Apply a small amount of wetsuit-safe anti-chafe balm or petroleum jelly to the neck area before wearing.
Excess water flushing through the suit
Ensure the back zip is pulled all the way up and the neck closure is firmly secured.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gul wetsuit maintains its elasticity and performance, follow these care instructions:
- Rinsing: Always rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cool water after every use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
- Drying: Air dry the suit inside out in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down the neoprene and cause fading.
- Storage: Store the suit on a wide-shouldered plastic hanger. Avoid using wire hangers as they can stretch the shoulder material.
- Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Use mild, wetsuit-specific shampoo if the suit develops an odor.
- Fit Check: Ensure the suit fits snugly without restricting breathing. The size 9-10 is specifically tailored for children in that age range, providing optimal thermal benefit.
