Tech Suit Care Guide

R-SKIN & VEL-SKIN TECH SUIT CARE & WEAR GUIDE

Your Taupoc suit is a high-performance competition suit. Following these guidelines will protect its compression, fabric integrity, and World Aquatics approval performance over a full season.

PUTTING ON YOUR SUIT

Tech suits are designed to be very tight — this is normal and intentional
Use a plastic bag over your foot to help slide the suit up without pulling on the fabric
Do not pull hard on the suit material itself — grip the seams or edges only
Do not use fingernails or sharp jewelry when putting on the suit
Allow 5–15 minutes for your first fitting — it gets easier with practice
Skin should be clean and dry — free of lotions, sunscreen, or oils which degrade the fabric

BEFORE WEARING

Do not apply sunscreen, body lotion, deodorant, or any skin product before putting on the suit
These products break down the fabric coating and void the performance warranty
Rinse the suit briefly in cold fresh water before first use

DURING COMPETITION

Taupoc suits are designed for competition use — not extended training sessions
Avoid sitting on rough surfaces (pool decks, bleachers) in your suit
Do not wear under a training suit or other garment

AFTER EACH USE

Rinse immediately in cold, clean fresh water after every use
Remove chlorine and salt residue thoroughly — do not leave the suit wet and folded
Lay flat to dry in the shade — do not hang, wring, or twist
Never put in a washing machine or dryer
Do not dry in direct sunlight — UV exposure degrades the fabric coating
