MATERIALS

Their function is to limit the contact of external water with the epidermis, protecting it from the sun and abrasions. The sheets are joined together by flat through seams, which reduce the passage of water.

ALLERGIES
The materials that make up neoprene accessories can in rare cases create allergies. Before purchasing or using it, it is recommended to make sure you are not allergic to Neoprene, Polyester or Nylon.

CHECKS BEFORE USE
Before each use, ensure the good condition of the neoprene accessories by checking the integrity of the seams, the fabric and that the zip is functional and undamaged.

CHECKS AFTER USE
After each use, check that the neoprene accessories have not been damaged and if necessary repair them as soon as possible. We recommend that you go to an authorised Cressi retailer for special repairs.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION

After each use, neoprene accessories should be rinsed with fresh water internally and externally to remove sand and debris. Allow the accessories to dry in the shade, hanging if possible. Periodically hand-wash in cold water with detergent for delicate garments. Do not dry clean, do not machine wash, do not use bleach and do not iron.

• HAND WASH IN COLD WATER
• DO NOT DRY CLEAN
• DO NOT BLEACH
• HANG IN THE SHADE TO DRY
• DO NOT TUMBLE DRY
• DO NOT IRON

MAINTENANCE

It is always a good idea to check neoprene accessories for cuts and perforations; if they do, we recommend sealing them with neoprene mastic. Check that the zips are in good condition and that there are no foreign bodies between their teeth that prevent them from functioning properly. If they are difficult to open and close, we recommend lubricating them.

STORAGE AND TRANSPORT

Store accessories in a cool, dry place (hang them on a hanger in the case of undersuit/suit/swimsuit), away from sunlight. Do not fold the accessories and avoid compression of the neoprene. Carry in a diving equipment bag that allows for some comfort and avoid excessively folding the accessories, especially near the zips.

DISPOSAL

Dispose of accessories strictly in accordance with the regulations in force in the country of disposal.
