How to care for your wetsuit

Your wetsuit is your key to unlocking hours of fun in the water, but it needs a little love and care to stay in top condition to get the best life out of it. Let's dive into how to give your special Yamamoto Neoprene companion the VIP treatment it deserves!

Changing Time:

• Treat your wetsuit with care and keep away from rough surfaces opt for a comfy towel or changing mat. It'll thank you for the gentle touch.
• Be extra careful when taking the wetsuit on and off and don’t force it. You might even need a bit of wetsuit lube or some baby soap to get your wetsuit on and off with ease. Yamamoto neoprene offers many positives in performance and comfort but be extra careful as this finish is more delicate compared to standard neoprene.
• Watch those nails! They have a knack for snagging on the delicate panels.

Wetsuit Spa Day:

• Rinse away the ocean's leftovers. After every session, give your wetsuit a thorough freshwater rinse, inside and out. Think of it as a refreshing post-workout shower.
• Keep it the freshwater rinse cool and avoid hot water, as it can damage the glue and neoprene.

Optional Shampoo Session:

• For deeper cleaning, call in the experts. Wetsuit Shampoo is designed to tackle lingering odours and keep your suit feeling fresh.
• Remember, washing machines are a no-go zone. The heat and tumbling can wreak havoc on the neoprene and glue.

Drying Like a Pro:

• Hang out in the shade. Direct sunlight can make your wetsuit stiff and unhappy. Find a cool, shady spot to let it air dry naturally.
• Flip it like a pancake. Once one side is dry, turn it over to give the other side some love.
• Tumble dryers? Not even once. The heat can melt the glue and ruin your wetsuit's shape.

Storing Your Wetsuit:

• Give it a comfy place to rest. Make sure it's completely dry before storing, then hang it right-side out on a wide hanger.
• Short on space? Fold it gently at the waist and lay it flat. Avoid tight rolls or knots to prevent creases.

That's it! With these simple tips, you'll keep your wetsuit in top shape for many adventures to come. Now get out there and enjoy the water!
