Triathlon suits are expensive and in order to make them last, you need to know these basic care steps.After all, you will depend on your suit to keep you warm and protect your skin from harsh water environments.
The first thing to learn is how to put your suit on properly. You already know that the suits are designed to fit snug against your body but that snug fit is also what makes them a struggle to put on. Your finger nails are the first place to start so make sure they are trimmed or covered so they do not snag or puncture your new suit. The next step is to put on your suit starting at the feet first and then working it up until it reaches the hips. Once you have accomplished this, you can adjust the suit so that it fits right on the front and back of your body.
Then you insert your arms in the sleeves one at a time, bunching the suit up to your shoulder before moving on. Next ensure that the internal flap lies flat against your back. Then ensure that the collar flap is laying flat. Make some final adjustments to the suit so it fits just right around the torso, chest and arms. Make sure the triathlon wetsuit is stretched in all the right places for maximum movement.
When you have finished your water activities with your suit, you will need to learn how to care for it after wards so that it will last you many years to come. The first aftercare step is to wash it immediately after use. Elements such as salt and chlorine can actually defect your suit. Hang your suit up with a padded hanger to prevent any creases from being created. Creases are bad news for your suit because it means they could lose the ability to prevent keeping cold water out. Another element to take into consideration is the sun since heat and sunlight both can deteriorate the suit.
By following these simple steps and taking care of your triathlon wetsuit you will keep it in pristine condition. In return your wetsuit will continue keeping you warm and help you compete in many triathlons to come.
