FAQs

What is the main benefit of using natural rubber in this wetsuit?

The primary benefit is sustainability, as it uses FSC-certified natural rubber, which is a more environmentally friendly material. It also provides a soft and flexible feel for comfort.

How does the Micro2Flex lining improve comfort?

The Micro2Flex upper lining creates a layer of warm air close to the body, helping to retain heat. It also has moisture-wicking properties, which means it draws sweat away from the skin and dries quickly.

Are the Powertex4 knee pads durable?

Yes, the Powertex4 knee pads are specifically designed to be durable and handle the wear and tear associated with activities like pop-ups, kneeling, and potential scrapes.

Can this wetsuit be used in very cold water?

This wetsuit is designed for temperate to cool water conditions. While it offers warmth, for extremely cold water, a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers might be required.

How often should I rinse my wetsuit?

You should rinse your wetsuit with fresh, cold water after every single use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine, which can degrade the material over time.

What is the recommended way to dry the wetsuit?

It is recommended to hang the wetsuit on a wide, padded hanger or a plastic hanger in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight and never put it in a tumble dryer.

What does 'FL' stand for in the product name?

'FL' typically stands for Flatlock, referring to the type of seam construction used in the wetsuit, which is known for its durability and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit is difficult to put on.

Ensure the wetsuit is completely dry. A small amount of water or specialized wetsuit lubricant can help. Check that all seams are flat and not bunched up. Verify the size is correct; if too small, it will be very difficult to put on.

Chafing or irritation around the neck or seams.

Ensure the anti-rash collar is positioned correctly and lying flat. Make sure the seams are lying flat against the skin and not twisted. Consider using a rash vest underneath for added protection, especially during longer sessions.

Wetsuit feels cold or is slow to dry.

Ensure the inner lining is properly aligned. For slower drying, it may be due to humidity or insufficient rinsing. Always rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Allow ample time for drying in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.

Seams appear to be separating.

Inspect the seams for any signs of damage. If minor separation is occurring, neoprene cement can be used for repair. For significant seam failure, professional repair may be necessary or the wetsuit may need replacement.

Wetsuit smells musty.

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and allow to air dry completely. If the odor persists, hand wash with a mild, neoprene-safe cleaner. Ensure the wetsuit is fully dry before storing.

  • Offers excellent flexibility and freedom of movement.
  • Durable construction with reinforced knee pads.
  • Comfortable lining that promotes warmth and quick drying.
  • Designed for ease of use with a back-zip entry.
  • Affordable option for entry-level water sports.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for junior sizes, limiting adult options.
  • May not offer the same level of thermal insulation as thicker wetsuits for very cold conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the wetsuit is the correct size for the child. A proper fit is crucial for warmth and performance.
  2. Have the child step into the wetsuit, pulling it up evenly over their legs and torso.
  3. Slide arms into the sleeves, ensuring they are smooth and not twisted.
  4. Fasten the back-zip closure. The cord should extend to allow the child to zip it up themselves if able, or an adult can assist.

Compatibility:

This wetsuit is designed for general water sports and can be worn for activities such as surfing, bodyboarding, paddleboarding, swimming, and general beach play in temperate to cool water conditions.

Care:

  • Rinsing: Always rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after each use, both inside and out. This removes salt, chlorine, and sand which can degrade the materials.
  • Washing: Hand wash occasionally with a mild, neoprene-specific soap. Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
  • Drying: Hang the wetsuit to dry on a wide, padded hanger or a plastic hanger in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays can damage the neoprene and fade colors. Do not tumble dry.
  • Storage: Store the wetsuit loosely folded or hung in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight. Avoid storing in plastic bags for extended periods.
  • Repairs: Minor tears or seam repairs can often be done with neoprene cement. For larger issues, consult a professional repair service.
