<p>So you bought your first triathlon suit but do you know how to care for it?After all, your suit has special duties that include keeping your body warm and protect your skin from abrasives.</p>
<p>First it is important to know the proper way to put on a triathlon wetsuit.  Because the suits are designed to fit so snugly putting them on can be a difficult task.  Before you begin be sure you have trimmed or covered your nails so you do not accidentally tear or puncture your suit.  After you have done that you will begin by putting your feet in first and working your way up bit by bit until you have reached the hips.  Once you have reached this point make some adjustments so that the front and back fit right.  </p>
<p>Next, slide your arms into the sleeves, take care to make sure the suit is bunching up around the shoulders.  And now for the back flap; it should be laying flat against your back.  Like the back flap; there will be a neck flap that also lays flat against your neck like a collar.  You may need to make some final adjustments to ensure the suit fits right around your torso, arms and upper chest.  A properly fitted wetsuit will be manufactured in a way so that it stretches in all the right spots to allow full movement.</p>
<p>Now after you have been swimming all day, it is important to take a few extra steps to ensure your triathlon wetsuit lasts for many years.  Your wetsuit should be washed immediately after taking it off.  Salt and chlorine can build up and slowly weaken the neoprene material.  You should hang it to dry with a padded hanger to ensure no creases are created.  Creasing can cause your triathlon wetsuit to lose its ability to keep out cold water.  You should also keep it away from heat and sunlight which can also slowly eat away at the material.</p>
<p>By following these simple steps and taking care of your triathlon wetsuit you will keep it in pristine condition.  In return your wetsuit will continue keeping you warm and help you compete in many triathlons to come.</p>

<p>Now that you have purchased your first triathlon wetsuit it is important to consider proper care and use.  After all, you rely on your wetsuit to keep you warm and it relies on you to keep it clean and protected.</p>
<p>The first thing to learn is how to put your suit on properly.  You already know that the suits are designed to fit snug against your body but that snug fit is also what makes them a struggle to put on.  Your finger nails are the first place to start so make sure they are trimmed or covered so they do not snag or puncture your new suit.  The next step is to put on your suit starting at the feet first and then working it up until it reaches the hips.  Once you have accomplished this, you can adjust the suit so that it fits right on the front and back of your body.  </p>
<p>The arms will be next with an easy slide in motion, you will want to see to it that the suit is bunching up around your shoulders.  There will be an internal back flap that needs to rest and lay flat against your back.  Locate the collar flap and see to it that it lays flat too.  Pay close attention to how the suit feels at your torso and upper chest and adjust as needed.  Your wetsuit should now be fitted on your body properly while allowing full freedom of movement.</p>
<p>When you have finished your water activities with your suit, you will need to learn how to care for it after wards so that it will last you many years to come.  The first aftercare step is to wash it immediately after use.  Elements such as salt and chlorine can actually defect your suit.  Hang your suit up with a padded hanger to prevent any creases from being created.  Creases are bad news for your suit because it means they could lose the ability to prevent keeping cold water out.  Another element to take into consideration is the sun since heat and sunlight both can deteriorate the suit.</p>
<p>By following these simple steps and taking care of your triathlon wetsuit you will keep it in pristine condition.  In return your wetsuit will continue keeping you warm and help you compete in many triathlons to come.</p>
