FAQs

What is the thickness of the neoprene material?

The wetsuit features 2.5mm thick neoprene, offering a good balance of flexibility and insulation for water activities.

Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?

The 2.5mm thickness is generally suitable for temperate to cool waters. For very cold conditions, additional thermal layers or a thicker wetsuit would be recommended.

How do I clean my wetsuit?

Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water after each use. Hand wash gently with mild soap if necessary, and always air dry away from direct sunlight.

Can children wear this wetsuit for long periods?

Yes, the flat seams and quick-dry fabric are designed for comfort during extended wear. However, monitor children for signs of overheating or discomfort in very warm conditions.

What is the purpose of the extended zip pull?

The extended zip pull makes it easier for children to pull the zipper up and down independently, simplifying the process of getting the wetsuit on and off.

Does the wetsuit have a key pocket?

Yes, it features a small key pocket, suitable for holding a very small item like a single key.

What does 'Contrast Panel' mean?

Contrast panels are sections of the wetsuit made from a different color or material, often used for stylistic design elements and sometimes to enhance flexibility in certain areas.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wetsuits should be snug but not restrict breathing or circulation. Check the size guide and consider a larger size if discomfort persists.

Water ingress around the neck or seams.

Adjust the high-neck fastening for a tighter fit. Ensure the wetsuit is fully zipped and the neck closure is secure. Flat seams are designed to minimize this, but a perfect seal may vary by individual fit.

Wetsuit is difficult to put on.

Ensure the wetsuit is completely dry. Put it on feet first, then arms, and pull up gradually. Using a plastic bag on feet and hands can help reduce friction. The extended zip pull is designed to assist with this.

Neoprene smells strongly after use.

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after every use. If the odor persists, hand wash with a mild soap or specialized wetsuit cleaner and rinse again. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers good freedom of movement for active water play.
  • Helps retain body heat, keeping children comfortable for longer.
  • Quick-drying fabric reduces post-swim chill.
  • Designed with flat seams to prevent skin irritation.
  • Easy to put on and take off thanks to the extended zip pull.

Cons

  • 2.5mm thickness might not be sufficient for very cold water conditions.
  • May require additional thermal layers for extended use in colder temperatures.
  • The key pocket is very small and only suitable for minimal items.
  • Contrast stitching and panels are a design choice that may not appeal to everyone.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a pull-on wetsuit and requires no specific setup beyond ensuring the correct size is chosen for a snug, comfortable fit. The adjustable high-neck and extended zip pull aid in the donning process.

Compatibility: Designed for general water sports. It is compatible with most standard swimwear and rash vests if additional layering is desired.

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse Thoroughly: After each use, rinse the wetsuit inside and out with fresh, cold water to remove salt, chlorine, and sand.
  2. Hand Wash: If a deeper clean is needed, hand wash gently with a mild soap or wetsuit-specific cleaner. Avoid harsh detergents.
  3. Drying: Hang the wetsuit to dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as these can degrade the neoprene. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
  4. Storage: Store the wetsuit loosely rolled or hung on a padded hanger to prevent creases and damage to the neoprene. Avoid folding it tightly.
