3mm Chest Zip Wetsuit Steamer

Shark Stop wetsuits are made with one of the lowest carbon footprint material of all wetsuits currently on the market. We choose to make our wetsuits with bio neoprene. This type of neoprene isn't just more durable and flexible, but it's environmentally friendly as well. Our ocean and wildlife are at the front of our mind when manufacturing a product that will spend most of its time in use in the ocean. Using bio neoprene is our way of combating the abundance of environmentally polluting petroleum neoprene wetsuits that are currently being sold around the world.

With this new type of wetsuit, we hope to make people realise that human safety is in our hands, killing sharks will not keep us safe, and the health of our oceans relies on healthy shark populations. By changing people's perceptions of the importance of sharks and how we can coexist with them, rather than dominate them, we aim to bring to light many other issues threatening our sharks. Hopefully, when people realize we can coexist they will be more willing to see the negative impact we are having on these animals and will speak up and demand change.

Prohibited Conduct: Our wetsuits are designed to provide protection and enhance your ocean experience. We strongly advocate for respectful and responsible interactions with all marine life. Engaging in inappropriate or dangerous behavior with sharks while wearing a Shark Stop wetsuit is strictly prohibited. Such actions not only endanger your safety but also contribute to the negative impact on marine life. This includes, but is not limited to, riding a shark’s fin or any other provocative actions that can lead to a “provoked attack,” as defined by the International Shark Attack File, or touching of a shark in any way, other than to redirect for safety reasons.

Promote Positive Interactions: We believe in coexisting peacefully with marine life and we encourage all Shark Stop wetsuit wearers to promote safety and awareness within the marine environment. When you’re out in the water, always strive to observe and enjoy sharks and other marine animals from a safe distance. Avoid any actions that might disturb or provoke these creatures. Share your positive experiences responsibly and help educate others on the importance of respectful and non-provocative interactions with marine life. Remember, our goal is to ensure a harmonious relationship with the ocean’s inhabitants, promoting mutual respect and safety.

Participating in watersports in the vicinity of sharks is an inherently dangerous activity. If a shark is sighted, get to safety as soon as possible and do not stay in the water.

Sharks can be unpredictable and dangerous and we encourage people to wear a Shark Stop wetsuit when working in, or enjoying the ocean, in order to reduce the extent of bodily injury caused by shark bite.

While extensive testing has been performed in the development of the materials used in Shark Stop wetsuits to reduce the degree of bodily injury caused by shark bite, Shark Stop wetsuits must not be considered as a life saving device and Shark Stop accepts no liability for personal injury and/or death resulting from the use of Shark Stop wetsuits.

The materials used in Shark Stop wetsuits are designed only to reduce the extent of skin penetration caused by shark bite and Shark Stop wetsuits provide no protection from the pressure impact of a shark bite (eg. bruising, crushing and/or breaking of bones and other bodily damage) or from drowning caused by shark bite.

Wearing a Shark Stop wetsuit will not reduce the likelihood of a shark bite or prevent death by shark bite.

We do not offer returns for change of mind or incorrect sizing. Our reasoning is that data shows that free returns increase sales, but also indicates that more orders are being placed before careful assessment of size guidelines. This increases outgoing and returned shipments, a consequence affecting our environment. The only proven way to decrease the negative impact of this is through mindful shopping. Prevention is key, make sure you read our sizing chart carefully.

However, as we are a purely online retailer, we are happy to discuss an exchange with you, should the wetsuit not fit you correctly.

Wetsuits should be fitted to ensure maximum warmth and comfort in the ocean, however they should not be uncomfortable or restrict movement. 

We accept exchanges of unworn, unwashed and undamaged items within 30 days of purchase.

Please note, there is less stretch in our wetsuits due to the nature of the material itself.

IMPORTANT NOTE: At Shark Stop, we’ve combined two world-class materials to bring you a wetsuit like no other: the protection of Shark Stop® technology, and the comfort and flexibility of Yamamoto 39 neoprene. Due to the nature of these materials, we want to be upfront about a small but important detail.Due to the contrasting nature of these two materials, the seams where the neoprene meets the protective fabric are considered a high-stress area, particularly under the arms. While we take every step during manufacturing to reinforce these seams, it is important to note that minor tearing or splitting at these junctions is expected, particularly during the initial wears as the suit adjusts to your body and movement. These small tears are purely cosmetic and will not affect the function or safety of your wetsuit. For extra peace of mind, you can apply a small amount of wetsuit repair adhesive to the area. Returns for seam wear in these areas will not be accepted as this is a known and expected occurrence inherent to the product’s design and material technology. Please do not purchase if you do not accept this, or any other Terms & Conditions at sharkstop.co/pages/terms.
