- Front zip makes it easy to change into at the water's edge
- Recyclable at end of life with Circular Flow
Designer's notes
"For Element we've created a two-piece wetsuit system that's flexible, versatile and easy to use. It allows you to choose how you stay warm when in or on the water and keeps your movement unrestricted. It's great for standup paddle boarding (SUPing) but equally at home as an alternative to a traditional outdoor swimming wetsuit
We've used Glideskin neoprene to help you cut through the water and reinforced it with nylon in high wear areas. It's a varied the thickness throughout to promote flexibility and range of movement where it's needed most. The jacket has a front zip making it easy to change into and there's a stash pocket for a soft flask, gels or rubbish."
Ronnie, Clothing Product Manager

Product care
Cleaning and caring for your wetsuit
When you are pulling on your suit take care not to use your finger nails. Check your suit for fit and range of motion. Your suit will feel different when wet. The neoprene collar and cuffs can be trimmed with scissors if they extend too far.
Rinse your suit out with fresh water after each use. Hang the wetsuit inside out and allow to dry away from direct sunlight or heat source. Store your suit in a cool room on a wide plastic coat hanger. Roll your suit when transporting rather than fold.
Don’t use petroleum products with your suit as this will damage the neoprene. Small tears can be repaired with neoprene cement or glue.

We have dedicated Repair Stations in our stores and we're fully equipped to breathe new life into your old kit. This includes spare parts, patches, new zips and wash and reproofing of your down and waterproofs. Pop into any store or contact us online for more info.
