The Vitalis Shorty Wetsuit is the evolution of Openwater Core Swimskin.

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.

Features

• Versatility: This wetsuit was designed for swimming in open water, however, thanks to the highly durable materials incorporated in the leg area, you can also use it for other water sports, such as SUP, kayaking, snorkeling…
• Durability: The DuraSkin outer fabric incorporated in the legs increases the durability of the wetsuit, making it resistant to possible wear.

Additional Information

• Neoprene can be damaged by excess salt or other chemicals such as chlorine if used in swimming pools. We recommend washing your wetsuit with plenty of water after each use. A small amount of neutral pH soap can be used and then rinsed out afterwards. Once clean, make sure prevent it from holding onto too much moisture. Air dry it outside or in a ventilated indoor space, somewhere without direct exposure to sunlight as this can damage the materials.
• Storing your wetsuit properly keeps the materials and seams from creasing and being stretched for long periods of time. It also prevents the material from wrinkling, which can affect both the wetsuit's durability and appearance.
• The best way to store a wetsuit is to hang it draped over a hanger from its waist, so that the most delicate areas such as the shoulders and arms do not have any kind of tension on them.
• For wetsuits with very flexible shoulders (Apex Flex or Apex Flow), it is important not to place them on a hanger from the shoulder area, as this will degrade the elasticity over time. For the rest of the models, a wide hanger can be used, as long as the wetsuit is not strained in the shoulder or neck area.
