Your neoprene wetsuit is easy to manage if you follow a few simple rules. Proper care keeps it performing season after season:
Take care of your wetsuit, and it will take care of you — race after race, training after training.
Even top-quality wetsuits can suffer wear and tear, like rips or torn seams. If you need to repair or widen your neoprene wetsuit for better comfort, it's best to consult a specialist. DIY adjustments to side panels or seams can damage elasticity or insulation if not done properly.
