FAQs

How should I store the wetsuit?

Store the wetsuit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding it tightly; instead, hang it on a wide hanger to maintain its shape.

Can I use this wetsuit for all types of water activities?

The wetsuit is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and watersports. However, it may not be suitable for extremely cold water without additional layers.

How do I clean the key pocket?

Rinse the key pocket with fresh water after each use to remove any sand or salt. Ensure the pocket is completely dry before storing anything in it.

What if the wetsuit gets damaged?

Small tears can be repaired with neoprene glue. For larger damages, professional repair is recommended.

Is the wetsuit UV protective?

While the wetsuit offers some sun protection, it is recommended to apply sunscreen to exposed skin.

Troubleshooting

Zip is difficult to close.

Ensure the fabric around the zip is not caught. Lubricate the zip with a zipper wax or mild soap if necessary.

Wetsuit feels tight.

Check the size and ensure it fits the child correctly. If it's too tight, consider a larger size.

Water is entering the wetsuit.

Check the fit around the neck, arms, and legs. Ensure there are no tears or damage to the seams.
