Product Information

Hello Golden customer! On behalf of all of us here at
Golden, thank you for purchasing and supporting
our business. Living in Roatan Bay, Honduras, we
see firsthand the plastic and ocean pollution issue.
Our mission is to help reduce and eliminate the
unsustainable practices of the world and make
reliable scuba and snorkeling gear with recycled
plastics and eco-friendly textiles. As a company
that wants to drive the world further into a more
environmentally friendly place, your contribution is
getting us going!
Please spread the word about our cause and
encourage your friends to purchase from us. When
people buy from Golden, an automatic 20% goes
towards research to find the best ways to be
sustainable and eco-friendly with the creation and
design of our gear. You and the world are in good
hands with us!

Most wetsuits worldwide are made of neoprene
fabric, but better and more sustainable options exist.
At Golden, all of our suits are made of ultra-pure
natural rubber. During the production of our wetsuits,
materials are processed using recycled water and,
to produce energy, waste plant material is used.
Even the dyes and glue used
in our wetsuits are sustainable
and ocean-friendly! Golden
uses water-based adhesives
and water-based inks; we want
to ensure every part of our
production minimizes our carbon
footprint on the environment from
this and all our products.

Golden’s wetsuits are made with ultra-pure natural
rubber, and our inner and outer linings are made from
recycled plastic bottles in the ocean. About 30
plastic bottles can be used on a single wetsuit.
These bottles are spun into a soft polyester yard
that creates the lining.

Buying wetsuits is a significant
investment. If your Golden
wetsuit is correctly cared for,
it can last years. Our friends
from Padi give great advice on
cleaning and caring for your
wetsuit. The following steps are
as soon as you start using your
suit and can keep your wetsuit
in good condition for many years
of adventure.

SOAK IT
Soak your wetsuit in cold or lukewarm freshwater as
soon as possible with a mild solution of baking soda
or wetsuit shampoo. Soak for 30 minutes, and then
soak inside out for 30 minutes.
SCRUB IT
While your wetsuit is soaking, pull the zipper up
and down consistently to dislodge any dirt: Scrub
zippers and velcro with a toothbrush. Repeat as
needed until the zipper moves smoothly.
RINSE IT
After soaking, make sure to give the soaking a
thorough rise both inside and out. Use fresh, cool
water to remove the product that was used to clean
your wetsuit.
INSPECT IT
Look for tears or gouges, especially along the seams.
If necessary, resow with heavy polyester thread.
HANG IT
Turn your wetsuit inside out, and hang it on a flat
hanger out of direct sunlight. Turn it right-side-out
and repeat.
STORE IT
Store your wetsuit on a hanger or loosely folded, and
keep it where the temperature stays consistent.

As divers, what we always worry about after
cleaning our wetsuit is seeing a rip! That always
ruins our day and puts us in a foul mood, even after
a beautiful underwater adventure. Golden wetsuits
can last 6-12 years, depending on how often you
go on adventures. All of our wetsuits have a tenyear
warranty; most of the time, after ten years, the
wetsuit should be replaced because it has lost its
elasticity or strong durability (not saying that it can’t
be worn after ten years).

So, what to do if you see a rip?
• Contact customer service; call (504) 247-3436
or email customersupport@golden.com
• Once customer service has received your
information, you should get an email with a
questionnaire and packing slip to send back to
the manufacturer
• Please fill out the questionnaire, place it and
your wetsuit in a package with the label taped
onto the front of your package, and mail it with a
sender of your choice (you are in charge of any
shipping costs)
• After 2-4 weeks, you should get a box in the
mail with your fixed wetsuit!
