I used to dive in open waters regularly and this Aropec shorts were my favorite go-to gear. The integration of extra storage and reinforcements made it so much more practical. I particularly enjoy the comfort and flexibility offered by the 2mm neoprene material which helped me for a long time without any issues but my knee got slightly poked by one of the metal reinforced stitching after 15 uses. Overall, I highly recommend this for diving enthusiasts but do suggest being gentle with the knee region.?

Overall, I’m quite satisfied with my Aropec 2mm Hip Pockets Neoprene Shorts with Waistband but I do have some confusion regarding the care instructions. Can someone please clarify how exactly to dry the shorts after each use to maintain their shape and longevity?

Hi Michelle, thank you for choosing Aropec gear! We’re glad you’re satisfied with the 2mm Hip Pockets Neoprene Shorts with Waistband. To dry your shorts after each use, we recommend hanging them to air dry or laying them flat on a towel to prevent water spots. Avoid direct heat or machine drying as this can cause the neoprene to lose its shape and become brittle. We hope this helps you maintain the longevity of your shorts! If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

For general use, temperatures between 60°F to 85°F (15°C to 30°C) are suitable. As for maintenance, we recommend rinsing the shorts with fresh water after use, and storing them in a dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, and do not machine wash or dry the shorts. By following these guidelines, you can ensure the longevity of your neoprene shorts.
