FAQs

What is the primary material of this wetsuit?

The wetsuit is primarily made from 90% neoprene and 10% polyester, offering a balance of flexibility, insulation, and durability.

Does this wetsuit provide sun protection?

Yes, it has a UV 50+ rating, providing a high level of protection against harmful UV rays.

How do I clean the wetsuit?

Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water after each use. Hand wash gently in cool, fresh water. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach.

Can children wear this wetsuit for long periods?

The flat seams, contoured shape, and adjustable neckline are designed for comfort. However, monitor children for any signs of overheating or discomfort, especially in warmer conditions.

What is the purpose of the extended zip pull?

The extended zip pull on the back fastener makes it significantly easier for children to zip and unzip the wetsuit themselves, or for parents to assist.

Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?

While the neoprene offers some insulation, this wetsuit is best suited for moderate water temperatures. For very cold conditions, a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers may be necessary.

Where is the key pocket located?

There is a small key pocket integrated into the design of the wetsuit.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit is difficult to put on.

Ensure the child is dry. Try putting it on in a slightly damp state (use a little water). Use the extended back zip pull to help. Check if the size is appropriate.

Chafing or discomfort around the neck or seams.

Ensure the adjustable neckline is not too tight. The flat seams and contoured design are intended to minimize chafing, but if irritation persists, check for any internal threads or rough spots. Ensure the fit is correct.

Material feels stiff after drying.

This can be normal for neoprene. Ensure the wetsuit is rinsed thoroughly with fresh water after each use and dried out of direct sunlight, as harsh drying can affect the material's flexibility.

Color appears different than expected.

Colors may vary slightly due to screen calibration and lighting during photography. Refer to product images and descriptions for the best representation.

  1. Rinse After Use: Always rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after each use to remove salt, chlorine, and sand.
