Drysuit care

How to use, wash, dry and store a Waterman drysuit.

The Waterman drysuit is designed to protect watermen against bad weather (wind, rain, snow, water) and short-term immersion in water. The material is sewn: we choose the best membrane breathable fabric but you should carefully use it and clean as we recommend.

Before using the suit, we recommend:

• put on a base layer of clothing, if there is a subzero temperature use two base layers of clothing;
• do not rush when putting on the suit, despite the wear-resistant materials, haste can lead to a rupture of the cuff, a zipper breakage.

After using the suit, we recommend:

• remove the grains of sand and algae from the fixing velcro;
• fold the roll into a bag and go to the place of desalination and washing.

Laundry
If the contamination is local, remove it with a sponge and a membrane cloth detergent. Wash the suit completely only in case of absolute contamination!

• the suit should be washed inside out, the temperature should not exceed +30 degrees,
  
• use special means for washing membrane fabrics,
  
• do not wring out and do not use the drying mode.

Drying

• hang on a hanger, let the water drain,
• dry on both sides,
• dry in place away from a direct heat source: do not dry on the battery and in the drying mode of the washing machine,
• when it absolutely dry, you need to soak the suit with a regenerating agent for membrane fabric (if washed with a means without this effect).

Store

• the suit can be stored either on a hanger in the closet or rolled up,
• latex cuffs should be treated with talcum powder,
• do not store near a direct source of heat and moisture.
