Dressing up

Using the right dimensions

This is how you put on the lycra suit.

So far we're offering two suits. L (1.60-1.75) and XL (1.75-1.85). You shouldn't put it on if you're larger than that.

Washing the suit

Due to hygienic reasons you must always wash the suit after using it. Remove all cables, Bodypack and Motiontrackers. Follow the instructions on the label inside the suit:

• Only Synthetic machine wash at 30°C!!!
• Do not bleach
• Do not iron
• Do not dry clean
• Do not tumble dry
• For the headband, gloves and straps use only cold hand wash.

Wiring things up

You can follow this instructional video to wire up the suit. Always have a second person to help you set things up.
