FAQs

What age range is this wetsuit suitable for?

This specific wetsuit is sized for children aged 3-4 years. Other sizes are available for different age groups.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the size guide provided by Mountain Warehouse, focusing on chest, waist, and height measurements for children's wetsuits. A proper fit is snug but not restrictive.

Can this wetsuit be machine washed?

It is recommended to hand wash the wetsuit in cool water with mild soap. Machine washing is generally not advised as it can damage the material and seams.

What is the purpose of the key pocket?

The small key pocket is designed to hold a small key, such as a locker key, securely while the wearer is in the water.

Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?

The wetsuit offers thermal insulation suitable for moderate water temperatures. For colder conditions, a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers may be necessary.

How long does the UV protection last?

The UV 50+ rating is an inherent property of the fabric and does not degrade with use, provided the garment is cared for correctly. It offers continuous protection as long as the skin is covered.

What is the material composition?

The wetsuit is made from a blend of 90% neoprene and 10% polyester, balancing flexibility, insulation, and durability.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit is difficult to put on.

Ensure the child is dry. Start by putting the legs in, then arms, and finally the head. The extended zip pull can assist with the back zip.

Chafing around the neck or limbs.

Check if the wetsuit is the correct size and fit. The adjustable neckline can be tightened, and the contoured shape helps minimize friction. Consider a rash vest underneath if chafing persists.

Wetsuit does not feel warm enough.

This wetsuit is designed for moderate temperatures. For colder conditions, consider a thicker wetsuit or adding a thermal rash vest underneath.

Material feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are rinsing with fresh water after each use and only using mild soap for occasional washing. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat during drying.

Care:
