GENERAL CARE
Congrats on your purchase of your new KONA3 wetsuit!! In order to keep your suit in the best race-ready condition, please rinse out in cold or warm fresh water after each use!! Allow your suit dry inside out, away from direct sunlight, once the inside material has dried turn it back right side out. In order to avoid pulling or deforming the thinner shoulder area of your suit do not hang your suit from the shoulders with a regular hanger. We recommend draping your suit by the thicker neoprene in the waist area over a hanger such as this HangPro Wetsuit Hanger Try and avoid or limit chlorine pool use as much as possible as this will reduce the life of you suit. Do not leave in direct sunlight or hot vehicles for any extended length of time.
USE OF LUBRICANT
In order to get your suit of faster in T1 a lubricant such as body glide around the wrist and ankle area works great!! A lubricant will reduce any possible chafing points. DO NOT use petroleum based products like Vaseline!!
