Full details

It offers a crucial balance of thermal insulation and mobility through its 2mm neoprene construction, making it perfect for extended play in the water. While it excels at providing warmth and UV 50+ protection, users should note that the 2mm thickness is best suited for warmer water temperatures rather than extreme cold.

FAQs

What age is the size 5-6 suitable for?

This size is specifically designed for children aged 5 to 6 years old.

Is this suit machine washable?

No, it is recommended to hand wash the suit with fresh, cold water only.

Can this be used in a pool?

Yes, but be sure to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after pool use to remove chlorine, which can degrade neoprene.

Does it provide sun protection?

Yes, the fabric is rated UV 50+, offering high protection against the sun.

How thick is the neoprene?

The neoprene is 2mm thick, providing a balance of warmth and flexibility.

What is the best way to store the suit?

Store it on the provided presentation hanger in a cool, dark, and dry place.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty zipping up the back

Ensure the child is standing upright with shoulders pulled back. If the zipper snags, pull the fabric lining away from the zipper teeth before attempting to zip again.

Water entering through the neck

Adjust the glide-skin collar to ensure it is lying flat against the skin without any fabric folds.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent UV 50+ sun protection
  • Increased flexibility via raglan sleeve design
  • Reduced chafing due to flatlock seams
  • Lightweight and comfortable 2mm neoprene

Cons

  • Limited to specific size range (5-6 years)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your wetsuit, rinse it thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use in salt or chlorinated water to remove sand and mineral deposits. Avoid leaving the suit in direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods to prevent material degradation. Always hang the suit on a wide, sturdy hanger—such as the one provided—in a cool, shaded, and well-ventilated area to dry. When putting on the suit, ensure the back zip is fully pulled up and the neck closure is secure to maximize heat retention. Store the wetsuit flat or on a hanger to avoid deep creases in the neoprene.
