1. Prepare Your Environment

• Dry skin only: No water, lotions, oils, or moisture, except for specialized products like Skin Slick or Trislide to help the suit slide on more easily and prevent tears — moisture or other products can reduce grip and damage the fabric.
• Roll the edge of the suit: where the grip panels are located so you can slide the tech suit on more easily without pulling directly on the grips.
• Trim nails & remove jewelry: Prevent snags or tears.
• Sit down: Use a clean, dry surface to maintain control and avoid overstretching.

2. Start with One Leg

• Insert one foot carefully, aligning the suit with your heel and ankle.
• Use your fingertips (not nails) to gently pull the suit up in small increments.
• Repeat with the other leg.

3. Work Up to the Knees

• Gradually pull the suit up over your calves and knees.
• Smooth out any wrinkles as you go.
• Ensure seams stay straight and symmetrical.

4. Pass the Hips (Most Challenging Part)

• Use your thumbs to guide the suit over your hips.
• Avoid pulling from the top — work from the bottom up.
• Sit down again if needed to maintain control.

5. Adjust the Waist and Torso

• Once past the hips, gently pull the suit up to your waist.
• Smooth the fabric across your abdomen and sides.
• Check for even compression and seam alignment.

6. Shoulder Straps (If Applicable)

• Insert one arm at a time into the straps.
• Pull the straps over your shoulders slowly, adjusting the fit across your chest and back.
• Avoid overstretching — guide the fabric rather than yanking.

7. Final Checks

• Ensure no wrinkles or air pockets remain.
• Seams should be straight and symmetrical.
• Move your arms and legs slightly to confirm mobility without compromising compression.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Pulling aggressively from the top.
• Using nails or sharp objects.
• Rushing the process — take 15–20 minutes.
• Wearing the suit on wet or oily skin.
