Gul Wetsuit Shorties - Black

The shorty design prioritizes maximum flexibility and unrestricted movement of the arms and legs, making it ideal for dynamic water sports, while still providing core body warmth.

These shorties are generally best suited for warmer to temperate water conditions, typically between 18°C to 25°C (64°F to 77°F), where some thermal protection is needed but a full suit would be too warm.

Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water after each use. Hand wash with mild soap or wetsuit shampoo and dry flat or hang in a cool, shaded area, away from direct sunlight.

No, machine washing and tumble drying are not recommended as they can damage the neoprene and compromise the integrity of the suit.

Shorties have shorter legs and arms, offering less coverage and thermal insulation compared to a full wetsuit, which covers the entire body for maximum warmth and protection.

The wetsuit should fit snugly like a second skin without restricting your ability to move. Consult the size chart provided by Gul and try the suit on to check for comfort and flexibility.

While they provide some thermal protection, shorties are generally not recommended for deep diving or cold-water diving due to their limited insulation. They are better suited for surface water sports.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the size guide and try a different size if necessary. The suit should be snug but allow full range of motion.

Rinse the suit thoroughly after use. Ensure the flatlock seams are properly positioned against the skin. Consider wearing a rash guard underneath.

Neoprene can degrade with heavy use and improper care. Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, especially regarding rinsing and drying away from direct sunlight.

Ensure the suit is completely dry. Using a small amount of water or a dedicated wetsuit lubricant on the skin can help. Avoid forcing zippers or seams.
