Care & Maintenance
- Rinse thoroughly after every dive – premium neoprene still degrades with salt exposure.
- Hang inside out to dry; this lets the seams breathe and prevents mildew.
- Lubricate the zip with silicone spray after every 5–10 dives.
- Store in a cool, dark place; premium neoprene is sensitive to UV and heat.
