Donning the drysuit
The drysuit should be chosen correctly according to the size chart to allow comfort and flexible
movement. While putting the drysuit on, a detailed attention should be given to ensure that
no excessive fabric is stuck in the seam or zip. Prior to putting the drysuit on, it is essential to
remove watches, jewellery and other objects that may damage the drysuit. Before that it is also
necessary to check whether the drysuit is complete, the legs and sleeves are arranged correctly
as well as the zips. First of all it is important to check if the drysuit is not flanged on the left side,
if the arrangement of the legs, sleeves and other elements is correct. The further procedures
should be executed according to the following list:
Before donning the drysuit
• Each time before use, put talcum powder on the neck and wrist seals.
• Avoid temperatures below 0⁰C, which may damage the seals. Warm them up before use in
cold conditions.
• Make sure that the zip is fully open.
• Do not use silicone lubricants on the zip and rubber parts of the drysuit.
