Size chart

Different wetsuits have different fits.

Thanks to the high elasticity of the materials, the more flexible wetsuits adapt better to the swimmer’s body than those with less elasticity. If you’re choosing a wetsuit with less flexibility, you should select a size that fits well to your body. When selecting the ideal wetsuit size, take three measurements: chest circumference, height, and weight. When in doubt, we recommend choosing the size that best fits your chest circumference.

The Vitalis Shorty is a wetsuit with short sleeves and short legs which was designed for swimming and is also suitable for other water sports. Its orange Hi-Vis panels give you extra visibility for practicing open water swimming. The highly resistant outer fabric in the leg area makes it more durable, while its construction allows for total freedom of movement and makes the wetsuit easy to put on and take off.

Materials

This garment is made with 1.5 mm thick neoprene and a highly durable outer fabric.

Composition
Neoprene: 90 %, Polyamide (Nylon): 10 %

High elasticity materials, create more flexible wetsuits that adapt better to the swimmer’s body than those with less elasticity. Elasticity in the shoulders is essential for efficient swimming without restrictions.

If you’re choosing a wetsuit with less flexibility, you should select a size that fits well to your body. Follow these five points for your perfect fit;

The suit should fit you snugly around the chest and neck to prevent water from entering and to keep your body at the right temperature.
The crotch area should fit snugly but not too tightly. If it’s too loose, wrinkles will form that could cause you discomfort and greater resistance when swimming.
The length of the arms and legs should be correct, ending at your wrists and ankles so as not to interfere with your swimming.
There must be no gaps between your body and the wetsuit. The gaps let water in, creating extra resistance which will slow you down.

Face the Water Wetsuit Care Guide

At Face the Water, we want you to get the most out of your wetsuit. Proper care will help maintain flexibility, insulation, and durability over time. Follow these essential care tips to keep your wetsuit in top condition.

1. Rinse After Every Use
After each use, rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, chlorine, sand, and other contaminants.

2. Use pH-Neutral Soap
When cleaning your wetsuit, use a small amount of pH-neutral soap to gently cleanse the neoprene.

3. Dry Properly
Turn your wetsuit inside out and hang it by the waist to dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources, as they can damage the material.

4. Store Correctly
Ensure Velcro closures are covered or fastened to prevent damage. Store your wetsuit in a cool, dry place, hanging it by the waist or on a wide hanger to avoid stress on the shoulders.

For a detailed video guide on wetsuit care, watch this video from Orca: How to Care for Your Wetsuit

By following these care tips, your Face the Water wetsuit will stay comfortable, flexible, and durable for many adventures to come. Enjoy the water with confidence!
