Cressi Karua Swimsuit Man 3/2 mm

Cressi Karua Swimsuit Man 3/2 mm

The men’s Cressi Karua is a full-length wetsuit for swimming and active watersports. Its ultra-stretch neoprene has nylon lining on both sides, with a 3 mm body and a lower 2 mm GlideSkin XT neck to allow comfortable movement when correctly fitted.

Features and Benefits

• Flexible construction: Ultra-stretch neoprene with nylon lining inside and out supports movement during swimming and other watersports.
• Low neckline: A 2 mm GlideSkin XT neck reduces bulk around the neck compared with the 3 mm body.
• Rear YKK zip: A pull cord and corrosion-resistant metal slider assist opening and closing; rinse the zip after salt-water use.
• Visibility details: Fluorescent panels on the sleeves, upper back and ankles help the swimmer stand out at the surface.
• Practical details: A small key pocket and name panel sit below the back zip.

Technical Specs

Fit and Sizing

Size-guide reference: The attached Cressi adult wetsuit chart is a general guide. Its match to this exact Karua model has not been confirmed. Ask the DGA team to check the model-specific chart or garment hangtag before choosing a size.

Compare your chest, waist, hips and height with the model’s size guide. The suit should sit closely without restricting breathing or shoulder movement. Settle the panels into place and check for excessive gaps or folds before deciding on a size. Match the thickness and coverage to the water conditions, activity and your own comfort. Warmth depends on fit, exposure time and the rest of your exposure gear.

Choosing your swimming wetsuit

Karua combines a nylon-lined 3 mm body with a thinner 2 mm neck for swimming and a range of watersports. Compare it with the Kuwae’s 2 mm smooth-skin construction if open-water swimming is your main use. Select by fit, activity, water conditions and time in the water rather than thickness alone.

Gear Care and Washing

Dive Gear Australia recommends Cressi Neoclean Wetsuit Wash or Revivex Wetsuit Shampoo for compatible neoprene. Regular cleaning helps remove salt, chlorine and everyday residue and, together with thorough drying and proper storage, helps extend your gear’s life. Use the label dilution and follow this product’s care instructions.

After every use, rinse the suit inside and out in cool fresh water to remove salt, chlorine, sand and other residue. Gently hand wash when needed using a wetsuit cleaner suitable for the material, following the cleaner’s dilution instructions and the garment care label. Rinse thoroughly after washing.

Let both sides dry completely in the shade with good airflow. Support the suit on a broad wetsuit hanger, or drape it over a wide support to avoid stretching the shoulders. Store clean and dry in a cool place away from direct sunlight, heaters, hot cars and sharp folds.

Handle smooth seals and inner surfaces gently. Avoid scraping, scrubbing, fingernails and jewellery, and do not stretch a seal by pulling on a small section of it.

Rinse sand and salt from the zip and close hook-and-loop tabs so they cannot snag the fabric. Never force a jammed zip. Use only the zip maker’s specified lubricant and storage position; ordinary wax or silicone is not suitable for every specialist zip.

Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, bleach or use solvents. Follow the supplied care instructions for this suit and its zip before using any cleaning or maintenance product.
