Care & Maintenance
- Rinse after every use and wash regularly – lycra holds onto salt and body oils.
- Machine wash on gentle in cold water; avoid bleach.
- Hang or lay flat to dry – tumble drying degrades lycra over time.
- Store away from sunlight when not in use; UV fades the fabric and weakens fibres.

I like the smooth-skin neoprene, feels soft and helps keep me warm on early morning dives. ZIP works well, but I find the collar a bit snug at first.
