Wetsuit Sizing & Fitting Guide
Choosing the right wetsuit is essential for comfort and performance. At Borderland Muff, we’ve put together this guide to help you measure up, try on safely, and return or care for your wetsuit properly.
✔️ How to Try On a Wetsuit (Without Damaging It)
- Carefully open packaging – avoid using sharp objects near the suit.
- Keep all tags attached until you're certain of the fit.
- Step into the legs first and pull to the waist – if it's tight here, stop. The suit may be too small.
- Insert your arms only if the lower half fits comfortably.
- Do not force the zip if the wetsuit feels tight in the arms or chest.
- Use fingertips (not fingernails) to adjust – tears from nails are non-refundable.
- Not sure it fits? Stop and return it in new condition for a refund or exchange.
📏 Wetsuit Measuring Tips
- Measure in CM – focus on chest (widest point), height, and waist.
- Always use the brand's specific size chart as a guide.
- Match chest size first, then height – if you’re close to the upper chest limit, size up.
- Wetsuit sizing is not the same as regular clothing sizes.
🔄 Returns & Packaging Advice
- Wetsuits must be returned flat – avoid folding arm-to-arm or creating creases.
- We cannot accept damaged, creased, or tagless suits.
- Use tracked post or courier (e.g., An Post) for returns. Customers cover return postage.
- Please allow up to 7 days for refund processing.
💡 Final Tip
Looking after your wetsuit from day one helps it last longer and perform better. Fit it right. Store it flat. Rinse with fresh water after each use. You’ll thank yourself later!
