Cancellations before pick-up receive a full refund. Unused suits that have been collected are non-refundable.
What to expect
A new wetsuit should feel performance-snug on land. Once you start swimming, it will settle onto your body and feel more natural after a few uses.
- A triathlon wetsuit is supposed to fit snug.
- It will feel less restrictive when wet, so it should feel tighter while dry.
- If you are wet or sweaty, getting properly into the suit becomes much harder, so start dry and cool.
Before you swim
- Snug is correct: The suit should feel tight on land because it will relax and settle once you are in the water.
- Start dry: Putting on a wetsuit while wet or sweaty makes fitting much harder and usually leads to poor setup
- Give it a few swims: Brand-new suits loosen up and become more flexible after several uses, so allow a short break-in period
Common Fit Reminders
The suit is not a dry suit, so some water will enter. If you experience excessive sloshing, the suit may be too big and could require a size exchange.
If the suit feels tight while swimming, try opening the neck slightly to allow a little water in.
New suits become more flexible after a few swims, so give the fit a little time before making a final call.
