FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this wetsuit?

The primary purpose is to provide thermal insulation and UV protection for children during water activities.

How do I know if I'm ordering the correct size?

Refer to the product's size guide for specific measurements. It's important for the wetsuit to be snug but not overly tight to function correctly.

Can this wetsuit be washed in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash. Hand wash gently with fresh water and mild soap, and hang to dry away from direct sunlight.

What does UV 50+ rating mean?

A UV 50+ rating indicates that the fabric blocks over 98% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, providing excellent sun protection.

Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?

This wetsuit is designed for moderate water temperatures. For very cold conditions, a thicker wetsuit or specialized gear would be more appropriate.

How should I store the wetsuit when not in use?

Store it loosely folded or on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew or degradation.

What are the dimensions of the key pocket?

The product description mentions a 'Small Key Pocket.' Specific dimensions are not provided, but it is designed for very small items like a single key.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the child's measurements. A wetsuit should be snug but not constricting. Check the size guide carefully. If it's a new wetsuit, it may need a short break-in period.

Water seeping in at the neck or seams

Adjust the neckline for a tighter fit using the adjustable strap. Ensure the flat seams are lying correctly against the skin. For significant seepage, the fit might be incorrect, or the material may have a small defect.

Chafing or irritation

Ensure the flat seams are correctly positioned and not rubbing. For prolonged use or sensitive skin, consider wearing a rash vest underneath. Confirm the wetsuit is the right size – too loose can cause rubbing.

Wetsuit smells after use

Rinse immediately with fresh water after each use. If odor persists, hand wash gently with a mild, neoprene-safe cleaner and rinse thoroughly. Ensure the wetsuit is completely dry before storing.

Zip is difficult to move

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip. Gently try to move it. If it remains stiff, a small amount of lubricant suitable for wetsuits (like zip wax or silicone spray) can be applied to the zip teeth.
