What’s the recommended wash mode for the wetsuit? Can it be machine washed or does hand wash only method is recommended?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question, Rory. We recommend hand washing your Aropec Course Neoprene Shorts. This gentle method helps to prevent damage to the neoprene material. Machine washing can cause excessive friction, leading to degradation of the wetsuit’s quality. To hand wash your Aropec Course Neoprene Shorts, submerge the garment in cold water, add a mild detergent, and gently agitate. Rinse thoroughly and dry flat. We also recommend avoiding direct sunlight and high heat when drying your wetsuit. Your Aropec Course Neoprene Shorts will enjoy a longer lifespan with proper care. For more information, feel free to check our product care page.

As a beginner in wetsuit experience, I firstly notice the Aropec Course Neoprene Shorts – 2mm is really well made and comfortable. The neoprene material is pretty soft and flexible. What’s also impressive is how easy it is to put on and off, which makes it a perfect choice for me while I’m learning. But what’s with the lack of internal booties? Would be nice to see a full wetsuit system in the future.
Imran Hanafiah –

We’re thrilled to hear that you find them comfortable and easy to use, especially as a beginner in wetsuit experience.

The pockets are quite small, which is a bit of a drawback, but overall, I’m happy with my purchase.
Daniel Koh –
I just love the comfort that the Aropec Course Neoprene Shorts – 2mm provide, especially after long surf sessions. Really looking forward to try the full wetsuit next.
Kenny Wong –
Does it really worth spending so much money for a shorty when you can find an entry-level wetsuit for the same price?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Kenny. You’re right that our Aropec Course Neoprene Shorts may seem premium, but their quality and durability make them a worthwhile investment for many water sports enthusiasts. While it’s true that you can find entry-level wetsuits at a similar price, our shorts offer improved flexibility, warmth, and protection that can elevate your overall experience. That being said, we appreciate your feedback and encourage you to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns. We’d be happy to help you determine which product best suits your needs.
Huey Lai –
Lastly, is it suitable for riding the waves in the warm seasons? I’m quite hesitant to buy it as I do prioritize comfort over price.
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for considering the Aropec Course Neoprene Shorts – 2mm for your warm season wave riding needs, Huey Lai! While our 2mm neoprene shorts are designed for general water activities, including surfing, their performance in warm seasons might be limited. The 2mm thickness provides warmth in cooler waters but might not be sufficient for more moderate to warm water temperatures. However, it ultimately comes down to personal comfort and what you’re used to. If you do prioritize comfort, you may also want to consider our thicker neoprene options or other fabrics that are more suited for warmer waters. Could you please provide more details or feedback after trying our product?
Jonathan Kaur –
Is this product suitable for surfers or just enthusiasts?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for sharing your interest in our Aropec Course Neoprene Shorts – 2mm. While this product can be enjoyed by both surfers and enthusiasts, it’s primarily designed for water enthusiasts. The 2mm neoprene fabric provides protection and flexibility, making it suitable for a range of activities like surfing, kayaking, or paddleboarding. However, if you’re an experienced surfer, you might prefer a more specialized wetsuit specifically designed for surfing, offering improved flexibility and thermal protection. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask, and we’re happy to provide more information.

I’ve had these shorts for months now and they still look and feel brand new. The color hasn’t faded and the material hasn’t lost its shape.
Samantha Kong –
The Aropec Course Neoprene Shorts has been a game-changer for me. The material is so soft and the fit is perfect. I’ve gotten so many compliments on them already!
Emily Chan –
The 2mm neoprene material is quite comfortable for my surfing trips during warmer months. Unfortunately, after a few months of constant use, the seams started to come apart. Hopefully it’s easy to repair or you might want to look elsewhere.
Evelyn Tan –
I’ve been wearing these shorts for a week now and they’ve become my go-to for winter. They’re super comfortable and the 2mm neoprene provides just the right amount of warmth. I was a bit skeptical about the quality at first, but so far, so good.
