Frequently Asked Questions
What is a long john wetsuit?
A long john is a sleeveless wetsuit with full-length legs, leaving the arms and shoulders completely free. It is the go-to choice for warm-water surfing or activities where maximum upper-body freedom is a priority alongside core and leg insulation.
What is FSC-certified Natural Rubber?
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification means the natural rubber used in the neoprene foam is sourced from responsibly managed forests. This significantly reduces the environmental footprint of the wetsuit compared to conventional petroleum-based neoprene.
What conditions is the O'Riginal 2mm Long John suited for?
The 2mm Long John is designed for warm water (approximately 20°C–26°C) where full-arm freedom is more important than arm insulation. The long legs provide core and lower-body warmth and UV protection without restricting swimming or paddling.
Care & Maintenance
Rinse inside and out with fresh water after every session. Turn inside out and hang to dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry, bleach, iron or dry clean. Avoid folding on the same crease repeatedly. Store in a cool, dry place away from prolonged UV exposure.
