FAQs

What is the correct way to measure my child for a wetsuit?

Measure your child's height, chest, and waist. Refer to the Osprey size chart to find the best fit. A snug fit is important for the wetsuit to work effectively.

Can I use this wetsuit for other sports like diving?

The Osprey Zero 5mm Kids Wetsuit is primarily designed for watersports such as surfing and swimming. It may not provide sufficient thermal protection for diving in colder waters.

How should I store the wetsuit during the off-season?

Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly, allow it to dry completely in the shade, and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding it tightly; instead, hang it on a wide hanger.

What is the warranty on the Osprey Zero wetsuit?

Warranty details can vary. Refer to the product packaging or Osprey's official website for warranty information.

How often should I clean the wetsuit?

Rinse the wetsuit with fresh water after each use. A more thorough cleaning with a wetsuit-specific cleaner can be done periodically to remove salt, chlorine, and other contaminants.

My child feels cold while wearing the wetsuit. What should I do?

Ensure the wetsuit fits properly and is not too loose. Consider layering with a thermal rash vest underneath or using neoprene accessories such as gloves and a hood.

Can I repair a small tear in the wetsuit?

Small tears can often be repaired using neoprene glue. For larger tears or damage, it's best to consult a professional wetsuit repair service.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit is difficult to put on.

Ensure the child steps into the wetsuit and pulls it up slowly, adjusting as needed. Use a plastic bag on the feet and hands to ease the process.

Water is entering the wetsuit.

Check the fit around the neck, wrists, and ankles to make sure it is snug. Ensure the zipper is fully closed and sealed.

Kneepads are peeling.

Avoid dragging the knees when possible. Gently clean the kneepads after use and store in a dry place.

Zipper is stuck.

Rinse the zipper with fresh water and apply a zipper lubricant. If the problem persists, gently try to free the zipper.
