Care & Maintenance
- Rinse with fresh water after every dive – short dives still expose the neoprene to salt.
- Hang to dry in the shade; avoid direct sun which stiffens neoprene over time.
- Store loosely; avoid folding tight at the zip or seam lines.
- Replace when the neoprene becomes stiff or the zip no longer seals properly.

The 3mm shorty is suitable for warm weather conditions. I used it for a short swim in Bali last month and it felt great.

How does the Aropec Crest Shorty Wetsuit perform during prolonged exposure to cold water?
Junhao Lo –
Dear Cassidy, thank you for reaching out to us about your concerns regarding the performance of our Aropec Crest Shorty Wetsuit in cold water. Our 3mm wetsuits are designed to provide thermal insulation and comfort in water temperatures ranging from 14°C to 22°C (57°F to 72°F). While they may not be as effective in prolonged exposure to colder water, they can still help extend the time you can spend in the water before feeling discomfort. However, we recommend wearing a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal gear if you plan to spend extended periods in extremely cold water. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

I’m not sure if the 3mm thickness is suitable for colder water. Does anyone have experience with this product in lower temperatures?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your concerns about the Aropec Crest Shorty Wetsuit’s suitability for colder water. Yes, some of our customers have used this wetsuit in temperatures as low as 10°C (50°F) and found it to be quite comfortable. However, it’s worth noting that the 3mm thickness is designed for general-purpose surfing and might not provide enough insulation for extremely cold waters. For colder conditions, you may want to consider a thicker wetsuit or additional layers. We’d be happy to provide more advice if you’d like, and we hope this information helps!
