This Mountain Warehouse children's wetsuit is designed for kids enjoying water activities, offering flexibility and comfort with its neoprene and polyester blend. Its key benefit is providing UV 50+ protection and aiding in warmth retention, while a potential caveat is the need for proper sizing to ensure optimal fit and function. Features include a back zip with an extended pull, contoured shape, flat seams, adjustable neckline, and a small key pocket.

The primary purpose is to provide UV 50+ sun protection and a layer of warmth for children during water activities.
It is crucial to get the right fit. The wetsuit should be snug against the body without restricting movement. Refer to the size guide if available, and ensure key measurements like chest, waist, and height are considered. A proper fit is essential for both comfort and thermal performance.
This wetsuit offers some thermal insulation due to the neoprene, but it is primarily designed for warmer conditions or moderate water temperatures. For very cold water, a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers may be necessary.
Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use. Hand wash with a mild soap if needed, and always drip dry away from direct sunlight. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or iron.
UV 50+ indicates that the fabric provides a very high level of protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. It means that less than 1/50th of UV radiation can penetrate the fabric.
The key pocket is small and designed for a single key or a small, lightweight item. It is not waterproof and should not be used for valuable items.
The wetsuit is constructed from 90% neoprene and 10% polyester, providing a balance of flexibility, warmth, and quick-drying properties.
Ensure the child is relatively dry. Try putting it on from the feet upwards. If the child is very warm, a little talcum powder can sometimes help ease the process, but avoid using it regularly.
Check that the wetsuit is the correct size and fit. The contoured shape and flat seams should minimize this, but if irritation persists, ensure no sand or debris is trapped inside. Consider wearing a thin rash vest underneath.
Ensure the wetsuit is rinsed thoroughly after each use and dried correctly away from direct sunlight. Over time, neoprene can stiffen if not cared for properly.
Gently pull the fabric away from the zip path. Ensure no material is caught in the zip teeth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zip if it feels stiff.
Setup: This wetsuit requires no assembly. It is designed to be worn directly. Ensure the child is comfortable and has adequate space to put it on, typically starting with the legs and then pulling it over the head and arms.
Compatibility: While primarily designed for water activities, this wetsuit can be worn over a thin swimsuit or rash vest for added comfort or sun protection if desired. It is compatible with various watersports equipment like surfboards, paddleboards, and kayaks.
