Putting on a wetsuit correctly

• Ensure all zips are fully open and turn the torso down to the waist.
  • Turning the torso down is more critical with a chest zip or zipperless wetsuit!
• Holding the ankle open push your foot into the suit
• Once your foot is through the ankle work the suit up your lower leg in small stages.
  • Grip the suit with the pads of your finger tips NOT YOUR NAILS to avoid damaging the suit.
  • Work the suit up by holding the suit a few inches above the ankle.
  • Then move up a few inches and worjk the suit up again
• Continue this process up the lower leg and ensure the knee protection is high (better to be slightly too high than too low!)
• Work the suit over the upper leg in the same way 
• Ensure that the crotch of the suit is very high and snug to your crotch before starting to work the torso up.
• Again work the torso up in small stages (A good fitting suit will not allow you to simply pul it up the body easily)
• For both chest zip and back zip suits pull the torso over your chest
• Ensure that there is no slack between the crotch and the top of the suit.
• Back Zip
  • Slide 1 arm into the suit again working the sleeve over your arm in small stages starting at the wrist and working up.
  • Once up fully slide the other arm in a repeat 
  • Once both arms are in push your shoulders back and pull the zip.
  • Once in the suit stretch fully, pull the neck off to allow air in and stretc again and squat to ascerain its a good fit
• Chest Zip
  • Choose the arm that has the closed end of the zip and work that arm in first as above.
  • Once in then work the second arm in.
  • Stretch your arms and then pull the neck over in one movement while "ducking" your head and push your head through the neck.
• Removal
• When removing a suit you should peel the suit in the revers of the above.
• Once removed the suit should be inside out
