FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this wetsuit?
This wetsuit is designed to provide warmth and protection for children during various water activities like swimming, beach play, and light watersports.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
A properly fitting wetsuit should be snug against the body without restricting breathing or movement. There should be no large gaps, especially around the neck and arms. Refer to the size guide for specific measurements.
Can this wetsuit be used in cold ocean water?
The 2.5mm thickness offers moderate insulation, suitable for temperate or warmer water. For very cold conditions, a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers may be required.
How should I clean my child's wetsuit?
Always rinse with cold, fresh water after use. Hand wash gently with mild soap if needed, and always dry flat in the shade. Never machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the benefit of the extended zip pull?
The extended zip pull makes it easier for children to pull the zipper up and down themselves, promoting independence and convenience.
Is the small key pocket waterproof?
The pocket is designed for small items like keys. While it offers some protection, it is not fully waterproof. For sensitive items, a dedicated waterproof pouch is recommended.
What does 'Flat Seams' mean and why is it important?
Flat seams are constructed so that the stitching lies flat against the fabric, reducing the potential for the seams to rub and cause irritation or chafing on the skin, especially during active use.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Wetsuits should fit snugly but not restrict breathing or circulation. Try a different size if discomfort persists.
Chafing or irritation around the neck or seams
Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly to remove any manufacturing residue. Ensure the high-neck is adjusted properly and not too tight. Consider wearing a rash vest underneath for added protection.
Wetsuit does not dry quickly
Ensure the wetsuit is rinsed thoroughly after use, as salt and sand can impede drying. Hang in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Check that the fabric technology is not compromised by improper washing.
Key pocket feels insecure
The key pocket is designed for small, light items. Ensure the item placed inside is not too bulky and that the pocket is properly closed. For larger or heavier items, consider a waterproof pouch.

Care Instructions:

- Hand Wash Only: If necessary, wash gently by hand with a mild detergent specifically designed for neoprene or swimwear. Do not machine wash.
- Avoid Bleach and Harsh Chemicals: Never use bleach, fabric softeners, or strong cleaning agents, as they can damage the neoprene and fabric.

- Store Properly: Once dry, store the wetsuit folded loosely or on a wide, padded hanger to avoid creases and damage to the neoprene. Keep in a cool, dry place.
