this suit (flex max) is exceptionally flexible due to the use of extremely thin materials in the upper body area – you almost get the feeling you’re not swimming with neo wetsuit care ImageWetsuit cost money so caring for it is essential, not only for performance but your budget too. Neoprene loses its flexibility as it ages but you should expect your wetsuit to last for up to 300 swims with the proper care. Here are eight tips to keep it in tip-top shape: * Hang your suit to dry; don’t leave it screwed up in the back of the car or at the bottom of a bag. * Use a wide hanger. Never use a wire one, which can cause ‘cracking’ where the weight of the suit sits on the hanger. * Do not hang in direct sunlight – it causes the suit to age more rapidly. * Do not leave the suit in a hot car – excessive heat can cause the glued seams to weaken. * Always rinse your suit with clean, fresh water after each swim. You can even use a mild shampoo to help wash away the salt/chlorine and bacteria. * Keep your nails short – you’ll be less likely to put your fingers through the suit when putting it on. Also, be careful of jewellery. * Once dry, store your suit inside out without any weight on it so as to avoid sharp creases and possible cracking. * Sounds obvious but never put your suit in the washing machine or the tumble dryer.
