FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this wetsuit?
The wetsuit provides thermal insulation, UV protection (UPF 50+), and comfort for children during water activities in moderate temperatures.
Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?
With a 2mm thickness, it is best suited for moderate water temperatures. For prolonged periods in very cold water, a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers would be recommended.
How do I clean the wetsuit?
Rinse with fresh, cold water after each use. Hand wash gently with mild soap and dry flat in the shade. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or iron.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ indicates very high protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It means that only 1/50th or less of UV radiation can penetrate the fabric, significantly reducing sun exposure.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The wetsuit should fit snugly like a second skin without restricting movement. The adjustable collar helps customize the fit around the neck. Refer to sizing guides if available for precise measurements.
Can this wetsuit be worn for extended periods?
Yes, the flat seams and quick-dry fabric are designed for comfort. However, it's important to ensure the child is appropriately dressed for the water temperature and duration of the activity.
What is the back zip for?
The back zip with a pull-on cord allows for easy application and removal of the wetsuit, making it convenient for parents and children.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit is difficult to put on.
Ensure the child is dry. Sometimes a little talcum powder or a very light application of water-based lubricant on the skin can help, especially around the ankles and wrists.
Chafing or discomfort.
Ensure the wetsuit fits snugly but not too tight. Check that the flat seams are lying correctly against the skin. Ensure the adjustable collar is set appropriately.
Material feels stiff after drying.
This is normal for neoprene. Ensure the wetsuit is rinsed thoroughly with fresh water after each use to remove salt or chlorine, which can contribute to stiffness.
Color fading.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use, and always dry the wetsuit in the shade. Rinse thoroughly after swimming in chlorinated pools.
