FAQs
What is the primary material of this wetsuit?
The wetsuit is primarily made of neoprene, with a thickness of 2.5mm.
Is this wetsuit suitable for cold weather ocean swimming?
While it offers heat retention, this short-length wetsuit is best suited for milder water temperatures or shorter durations in cooler water, offering less coverage than a full suit.
How do I clean the wetsuit?
Rinse with fresh, cold water after use. Hand wash with mild soap if needed. Avoid machine washing, harsh detergents, and direct heat for drying.
Does this wetsuit come in other sizes?
Yes, this model is available in various sizes and colours. This specific variant is for size 3-4 years in green.
What does the 'Extended Zip Pull' feature do?
The extended zip pull makes it easier for children to fasten and unfasten the wetsuit themselves, promoting independence.
Can the small key pocket hold more than just a key?
The pocket is designed for a small key. It is not recommended to store larger or valuable items as they may not fit securely or could be lost.
Are the 'Contrast Panel' and 'Contrast Stitching' functional features?
These are primarily aesthetic design elements and do not add significant functional benefits beyond the wetsuit's core material and construction.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure the correct size (3-4 years) has been selected. Neoprene can feel snug but should not overly restrict breathing or major movements. Check if the child has tried it on properly.
Water seeping in at the neck or seams
Ensure the adjustable high-neck is properly fastened. Check that the flat seams are intact. Minor seepage is normal with wetsuits, but excessive water entry may indicate a poor fit or damaged seams.
Wetsuit is slow to dry
Ensure the wetsuit has been thoroughly rinsed with fresh water after use. Hang it in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Excessive detergent residue can hinder drying; ensure it's rinsed properly.
