Wetsuit Warranty

Nineplus Wetsuit Warranty

CARING FOR YOUR WETSUIT

If treated with care a Yamamoto smoothskin will last longer than a conventional wetsuit, but getting the most out of your Nineplus wetsuit also requires a little care on your part.

To ensure your wetsuit LASTS FOR MANY YEARS, we recommend regular rinsing with clean water to remove salts and sand. Your Nineplus wetsuit will DRY MUCH FASTER than normal wetsuits because it contains much less water. Don’t allow it to dry in scorching hot sunshine as in rare cases we have seen the smoothskin rubber heat up so much that it can cook!

Smoothskin advocates have always been aware that sharp finger nails, barnacles, and so on, can be capable of 'nicking' the skin of the neoprene. However, our shared belief in the benefits of smoothskin has meant that, with years of perseverance with different grades of smoothskin, we have greatly reduced this tendency. Now, if treated carefully a Yamamoto smooth skin suit will last longer than a conventional wetsuit because of its quality and cell structure; but this will still of course be dependant inevitably on your own care and control. If there are any problems, we will always do our best to help you; although our warranty does not include nicks in the smooth skin as this will ultimately be down to your own care.
