FAQs
What is the primary benefit of this short wetsuit?
The Freespirit Kids' Short Wetsuit provides thermal insulation, keeping children warmer in the water for longer periods, and its flexible design allows for unrestricted movement during water activities.
What material is the wetsuit made of?
The wetsuit is primarily made of 90% Neoprene and 10% Nylon, offering a balance of warmth, flexibility, and durability.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
A proper fit is crucial. The wetsuit should be snug against the body without restricting breathing or movement. Check the size guide provided by the brand for specific measurements. Your child should be able to move their arms and legs freely.
Can this wetsuit be used in very cold water?
This is a short wetsuit with 2.5mm thickness, best suited for moderate water temperatures. For very cold water, a full wetsuit with greater thickness would be more appropriate.
How should I clean and maintain the wetsuit?
Always rinse with fresh, cool water after each use. Hand wash gently with mild soap if needed, and dry flat away from direct sunlight. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
Does the wetsuit have a key pocket?
Yes, this wetsuit features a small key pocket for convenience.
What water activities is this wetsuit suitable for?
It is suitable for a wide range of water activities, including swimming, surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and general beach play.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure the correct size has been selected. A snug fit is necessary, but it should not restrict breathing or major movement. Refer to sizing guides if unsure.
Chafing or irritation after use
Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly. Ensure seams are lying flat and not rubbing. Consider wearing a rash guard underneath for added protection.
Reduced flexibility over time
Ensure the wetsuit is properly cared for by rinsing and drying correctly. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or chemicals which can degrade the neoprene.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently rinse the zipper area with fresh water. Apply a small amount of specialized zipper lubricant or beeswax if needed. Do not force the zipper.
