Your Nixsa wetsuit is crafted from premium Yamamoto neoprene, designed for warmth, flexibility, and long-lasting performance. With the right care, your suit will stay lighter, warmer, and more comfortable for years to come. Here’s everything you need to know about looking after it.

1. Rinse After Every Session

Salt, sand, and chlorine all break down neoprene over time. After every use, rinse your wetsuit in cool, fresh water. Pay attention to high-wear areas like the chest zip and seams.

 

2. Dry the Right Way

Turn your wetsuit inside out and hang it to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Direct sunlight damages neoprene and fades logos. Never use a tumble dryer, radiator, or hot water — heat will crack and stiffen the material.

 

3. Store with Care

Use a wide hanger to support the shoulders and prevent creases. Avoid leaving your wetsuit folded in a bag or car boot, especially when damp. For long-term storage, keep it in a cool, dry place.

4. Clean Occasionally

Every few weeks (or after heavy use), wash your wetsuit with a wetsuit-specific shampoo. This removes bacteria and odours without harming the neoprene. Never use bleach or household detergents.

 

5. Protect Zips and Seams

Zips should be rinsed and occasionally lubricated with zipper-safe products to keep them smooth. Avoid standing on your wetsuit when changing, as this stresses seams.

 

6. Use It Wisely

Wetsuits are designed for water sports — not sitting on rocks, dragging across the ground, or overexposure to sun. Treat it with respect and it will return the favour.

 

Final Word

By following these simple steps, you’ll extend the life of your Nixsa wetsuit, keep it performing at its best, and protect your investment. A well-cared-for suit means more comfort, more warmth, and more time in the water — exactly what it was built for.
