ION Neo Top 2/2mm Longsleeve Men

Washing: Rinse the neoprene top thoroughly in cold, clean fresh water after each use to remove salt, chlorine, and sweat. If needed, wash it in cold water with a mild neoprene or wool detergent. Never use bleach or machine-wash it, as this can damage the neoprene.

Drying: Let the top dry hanging or lying flat in a shaded, well-ventilated place. If you like, turn it inside out halfway through so both sides dry evenly. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, and tumble dryers, as heat and UV light degrade the material.

Storage: Store the dry top on a wide hanger or folded flat in a cool, dry place - never in a closed, damp bag or car. Keep it away from sharp objects, and make sure the top is completely dry before putting it away.
