How to clean and store your wetsuit

Take care of our equipment is an excellent choice to extend the life of our wetsuit and enjoy it as we did the first day. Learn how to do it and enjoy your next adventures to the fullest.

Take care of our equipment is an excellent choice to extend the life of our neoprene and enjoy it as we did the first day.

1. CLEANING THE WETSUIT

By cleaning our wetsuit after each use we will be able to maintain all the properties of its materials in perfect condition.

This process should be done especially after the use of the neoprene in salt water or in water with chlorine. 

Duration: 10 minutes

Materials: Water, pH neutral soap.

1. Clear the wetsuit using fresh water to remove any excess salt water or chlorine.

2. Apply a small amount of pH neutral soap to the wetsuit and gently rub the wetsuit panels.

3. Rinse the neoprene to remove any remaining soap.

4. Turn the wetsuit inside-out and hang it up from the waist to dry naturally without exposing it to direct sunlight or any heat source.

2. STORING OUR WETSUIT

Proper storage of the wetsuit will prevent the appearance of wrinkles in the neoprene, and keep the seams free of tension through the time. 

The best way to store a wetsuit is to hang it at the waist, to avoid tension in the most sensitive areas (shoulders and arms).

1. In wetsuits with a high elasticity (e.g. Orca Apex range), it is very important not to use a hanger to hang the wetsuit from the shoulders.

2. In other models it is possible to use a hanger, as long as it is wide and the neoprene does not suffer tension in the neck and shoulders.

3. To protect the SCS coating on the outside of the wetsuit, we advise to add a small layer of baby powder when storing it for long periods of time to better preserve the coating.

How to measure yourself

For best results, take your measurements with no clothing on

Place the measuring tape over the widest part of your chest.

Hold one end of the measuring tape in place and circle your chest, keeping the tape straight, until the tape reaches your starting point.

Get a book, a hand mirror and a pencil.

Take off your shoes and anything you wear on your head.

Look for a level surface to stand on with a smooth wall behind you.

Stand in front of the wall with your feet together.

Balance the book on your head and press it against the wall. Use the mirror to check that it is in a horizontal position and well centered. Mark the position of the top of your head on the wall with pencil.

Once the mark is made, step away and use a measuring tape to measure the distance from the ground to the mark you just made with pencil.

Step on the scale, without clothes or accessories, and write down your weight.
