Why maintain your neoprene gear?
Neoprene is a high-performance material but is subjected to many challenges: saltwater, sand, sun, humidity, and temperature variations. Without regular maintenance, a neoprene wetsuit or accessory can gradually lose its flexibility, comfort, and thermal capabilities.
Since 1976, we have observed that properly maintained gear retains its performance much longer and offers better comfort season after season.

How to clean a neoprene wetsuit?
The first reflex is to rinse your gear with clear water after each session. This operation helps eliminate salt, sand, and impurities that accelerate the wear of the material.
For more thorough maintenance, using a specific neoprene wetsuit maintenance product or neoprene shampoo effectively cleans the fibers while preserving their flexibility.
Eliminating bad odors from neoprene
Over time, moisture and bacteria can cause unpleasant odors. Specific cleaning products effectively disinfect the gear while respecting the properties of neoprene.
Regular maintenance generally avoids this problem and improves comfort during the next sessions.
Maintaining all your gear
Maintenance is not only about wetsuits. Neoprene Booties, Neoprene Gloves, Neoprene Hoods, and Neoprene Tops are also exposed to saltwater, UV rays, and mechanical stress.
A few minutes of maintenance after each session often significantly extends their lifespan.
How to properly dry your gear?
Drying plays a crucial role in preserving neoprene. It is recommended to dry the gear in the shade, in a ventilated area, to avoid premature degradation due to UV rays.
This simple precaution helps preserve the flexibility of the materials and the thermal performance of your gear.
Quickly repair small damages
Even the best gear can suffer from snags or small tears over time. Neoprene repair products often allow for quick intervention before the damage worsens.
Early repair generally helps extend the lifespan of a Men's Wetsuit, a Women's Wetsuit, a Kids' Wetsuit, or a Shorty.
