Product Information
Full details
The Animal Gala Long Sleeve Surfsuit is designed for active children aged 9-10 who enjoy swimming, surfing, and spending long hours at the beach. Its primary benefit is the combination of a sporty, flexible fit with quick-drying materials, ensuring comfort during and after water activities. While it offers excellent mobility and sun coverage for the arms, potential buyers should note it is primarily a lightweight surfsuit rather than a thick neoprene wetsuit, meaning it is better suited for warmer water temperatures.

FAQs
Is this a wetsuit for cold water?
No, this is a lightweight surfsuit designed for swimming and casual water sports in warmer conditions. It does not provide significant thermal insulation.
How do I determine if this size fits?
This model is designed specifically for children in the UK size 9-10 bracket.
Can I machine wash the surfsuit?
We recommend hand washing in cool, fresh water to preserve the elasticity and print quality of the fabric.
Does the material provide UV protection?
While the long sleeves provide physical coverage, it is always recommended to use high-SPF sunscreen on any exposed skin.
What is the best way to store the suit?
Store the surfsuit flat or on a broad hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to pull.
Rinse the zipper thoroughly with fresh water to ensure there is no dried salt or sand lodged in the teeth.
Fabric feels slightly stretched after heavy use.
Wash the suit in cold water and allow it to air dry fully; the high-quality polyester blend is designed to recover its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Animal Gala Long Sleeve Surfsuit, always rinse the garment thoroughly with fresh, cool water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to remove debris and salt. Avoid drying the surfsuit in direct, intense sunlight, as this can degrade the fabric's integrity and stretch over time; instead, hang it to air dry in the shade. When storing, ensure the suit is completely dry to prevent odors or mildew. The suit is designed specifically for children size 9-10 and is compatible with standard beachwear layering.
