How to put on a Wetsuit

We want you to get the most out of your fourth element wetsuit and correctly donning it can make a big difference to the life of your garment. We’ve put together a quick guide on how to get into your suit without causing damage. Always ensure your nails are trimmed and jewellery is removed to avoid tearing of seals.

Wetsuit Step 1

Step in and once your toes appear through the end of the ankle seal, roll the seal back over your foot until the seal is completely inside out.

Wetsuit Step 2

Carefully put all your fingers inside the rolled ankle seal and ease over the ankle.
Leave rolled and repeat for opposite side.

Wetsuit Step 3

Pull the legs right up getting the suit to your waist. You can now roll the ankle seal down or do this last, once entirely in the suit.

Wetsuit Step 4

Ensure the legs are comfortable and untwisted whilst the suit is at your waist.

Wetsuit Step 5

Pull the suit up evenly as far as you can before you put your arms in. Ideally the suit should be right up to your armpits.

Wetsuit Step 6

Put one arm at a time into the suit. Take your time to roll out any wrinkles in the sleeves.

Wetsuit Step 7

If your wetsuit contains a neck seal:
Pull the neck seal up and then over your head. Adjust until comfortable, this will ease slightly with use.

Wetsuit Step 8

If your wetsuit contains a neck seal:
Tuck in the bib part at the front ensuring it is nice and flat before you zip up.

Wetsuit Step 9

Zip the suit up and adjust the outer collar neck seal for comfort and to reduce water ingress.
