FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the neoprene material?
The 2.5mm neoprene material provides insulation, helping to keep children warm in cooler water temperatures.
Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?
The 2.5mm thickness is suitable for general water activities in moderate temperatures. For very cold conditions, a thicker wetsuit may be required.
How do I clean the wetsuit?
Rinse with fresh, cold water after each use. Hand wash gently with mild soap if necessary. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Always dry flat away from direct sunlight.
Can my child put this wetsuit on by themselves?
The pull-on design and extended zip pull are intended to make it easier for children. However, younger children may still require some assistance.
What does 'Contoured Fit' mean for my child?
A contoured fit means the wetsuit is shaped to follow the natural lines of the body, allowing for greater flexibility and freedom of movement during activities.
Does the wetsuit have a pocket?
Yes, it features a small key pocket for secure storage of a small item like a locker key.
What size is this specific wetsuit?
This guide specifically refers to the Mountain Warehouse Childrens/Kids Contrast Panel Wetsuit in Green, size 7-8 Years.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Neoprene can take a few uses to fully stretch and conform to the body. Ensure all seams are lying flat and not bunching.
Chafing or irritation during wear
Make sure the wetsuit is fully pulled up and seams are positioned correctly on the body. If irritation persists, consider wearing a rash vest underneath.
Wetsuit is slow to dry
Ensure the wetsuit has been thoroughly rinsed after use. Hang in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat or sunlight. Check that the fabric technology is performing as expected; some initial uses may see slower drying.
Difficulty putting on or taking off
Ensure the child is dry when putting on. Use talcum powder or a small amount of water to help slide the wetsuit on. Utilize the extended zip pull if present. Practice makes perfect for children learning to don and doff the suit.
