FAQs
What is the wetsuit thickness?
The wetsuit has a thickness of 2.5mm.
Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?
The 2.5mm neoprene offers heat retention, but for very cold conditions, a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers might be necessary.
Can this wetsuit be machine washed?
No, it is recommended to hand wash the wetsuit gently with cold water and mild soap. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What age group is the 9-10 Years size for?
The 9-10 Years size is designed for children typically within that age range, but it's always best to check the specific measurements if available to ensure a proper fit.
Does the wetsuit have a zipper?
This wetsuit features a pull-on design with an extended zip pull, rather than a full back zipper.
How should I dry the wetsuit?
You should dry the wetsuit flat in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight, to preserve the material.
What is the key pocket for?
The small key pocket is designed to hold a single small key securely during water activities.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit is difficult to put on.
Ensure the child is relatively dry. You may need to assist them, especially with the high-neck closure. Using a plastic bag over hands and feet can sometimes help slide the neoprene on more easily.
Chafing or discomfort.
Ensure the wetsuit is the correct size and fits snugly but not too tight. The flat seams are designed to minimize this, but if irritation persists, check for any external factors or ensure the suit is properly rinsed.
Water leakage.
A small amount of water ingress is normal. However, significant leakage may indicate the size is incorrect or the seals around the neck, arms, or legs are not forming a proper fit. Adjust the high-neck closure and ensure all edges are lying flat against the skin.
Wetsuit smells musty.
This usually happens if the wetsuit was stored while damp. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry completely flat in a shaded, well-ventilated area. For persistent odors, a specialized wetsuit shampoo can be used according to its instructions.
