Maintenance of your wetsuit

Working outdoors on rainy days is a challenge for many professionals: drivers, operators, farmers, fishermen and, among others, logistics professionals.

To keep you dry and protected while doing your job, Juba offers a selection of garments designed to withstand the toughest conditions.

But as well as choosing the right wetsuit, it's important to maintain it properly to ensure it performs at its best and lasts longer.

Here are some practical tips:

• Don't store it folded when it's wet: After your day, avoid leaving your wetsuit in a vehicle or in a bag to avoid dampness, bad smells and deterioration of the material. Hang it up or spread it out for ventilation.
• Leave it to dry in the open air, but out of direct sunlight: Ideally, dry it in a shaded and ventilated place. Prolonged exposure to the sun can damage the waterproof coating, making it sticky or brittle over time.
• Clean it if it gets dirty: Mud, dust or chemicals that may adhere during work should be removed with cold or lukewarm water. If necessary, use a neutral soap (never aggressive detergents).
• Avoid heat sources: Drying with a hair dryer, near a cooker or on a radiator may seem practical, but it deteriorates the materials and shortens their lifespan.
• Check zips, seams and critical areas: A coverall is subject to chafing and stress. Make frequent checks to ensure.
• If you take care of it, it protects you better and for longer: A well-maintained wetsuit guarantees you comfort, waterproofness and safety throughout your day, even on the most difficult days.
