FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the 2.5mm neoprene material?

The 2.5mm neoprene provides good heat retention, helping to keep children warm in the water.

How do I ensure the best fit for my child?

A wetsuit should fit snugly like a second skin without restricting breathing or movement. Consult the brand's sizing chart and measure your child's chest, waist, and height.

Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?

The 2.5mm thickness is generally suitable for temperate to cool waters. For colder conditions, a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers might be necessary.

Can children put this wetsuit on by themselves?

The extended zip pull on the back is designed to make it easier for children to put on and take off the wetsuit independently, though some may still require assistance.

How should I clean the wetsuit?

Rinse with fresh, cold water after each use and hand wash occasionally with mild soap. Avoid machine washing and harsh chemicals.

Does the wetsuit offer UV protection?

While the neoprene material offers some protection, it's not primarily designed as a sun protection garment. Consider using sunscreen on exposed skin.

What does 'Contoured Fit' mean?

Contoured fit means the wetsuit is shaped to follow the natural curves of the body, enhancing comfort and allowing for a greater range of motion during activity.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. A wetsuit should fit snugly but not restrict breathing or major movement. Refer to the sizing guide. If it's a new wetsuit, it may need a few uses to break in.

Water flushing into the wetsuit.

Check that the neck, wrists, and ankles seals are snug. Ensure the back zip is fully closed. A proper fit is crucial to minimize water entry.

Wetsuit has an odor.

Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water after each use. If the odor persists, hand wash with a mild wetsuit shampoo or a gentle, non-detergent soap and rinse thoroughly. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.

Seams feel uncomfortable or are chafing.

Ensure the flat seams are positioned correctly against the skin. If the issue persists, a thin layer of wetsuit lubricant or a rash vest worn underneath may help.

Care:
