Coastlines Wetsuits Warranty
In order to ensure you get the best out of your wetsuit (whether you have Assurance or not) and qualify for a warranty, we strongly advise that you stick to our care standards.
Care Standards
- To be eligible, for any claims, your wetsuit must have been treated correctly, as per our care standards.
- Once you're back on land, rinse your wetsuit inside and out with fresh water. Fill your wettie bucket up, get your hands in there and give it a good wash. Be sure to turn it inside out and have another go.
- Direct sunlight is not neoprene’s friend, be sure to always dry your wettie in the shade. Hang your wetsuit in half through a hanger and not from the neck, this will stop the neck & shoulders from stretching while it's drying. Be sure to turn it inside out and give the other side a chance to dry too. This step is just as important as rinsing. You want a dry wetsuit on both sides and not a half-dry soggy suit.
- After every use treat your wetsuit with care, by treating it to a thorough wash with fresh water and once a month use wetsuit shampoo. This will help get out the last of the stubborn saltwater.
