Why my brand new wetsuit smells like weed?

[Anonymous]

Is it normal? How can I get rid of this terrible odor?

[ArrowheadSW]

I wonder why. Maybe the people who run the shop smoke it in the shop after hours? After you use it in the ocean it should wash off.

Mabe it's just smell similar to weed? Sometimes those brand new products can have a very distinct smell :P

[Asker]

No idea. It's my first wetsuit that I bought. Pretty distinctive smell indeed. 🤢

[harvest]

Have you tried returning it?

[Asker]

Not yet but if I cannot find a solution, I will.

[harvest]

Have you tried washing it?

[Asker]

Nope, I just bought it yesterday evening.

[harvest]

Try it then :)

[Asker]

👌👌👌

If it smells like weed it's because it came in contact with weed or the smoking of weed. Soak it in febreeze

[MyLastRemnant]

Look at the tag does it say 100% weed? Might have straight up just been made from it.

Have you been swimming around seaweed or have you been smoking pot in it? You need to wash your suit

Because he smokes weed

This is sarcasm by the way lmao

[Opinion Owner]

Probably just because it’s new, most new materials have that kind of smell for some reason

[Asker]

Loool

[Asker]

Do you think the odor will go away on its own or if I wash it?

[Opinion Owner]

It may probably go away when you get more use out of it and after washes 😊

[Warmapplecrumble]

Soak in water with vinegar

Wash it properly before wearing.
