FAQs

What age is a size 10 wetsuit suitable for?

A size 10 wetsuit is typically designed for children around 10 years old, but this can vary based on the child's height and build. It's recommended to check the specific sizing chart provided by Mountain Warehouse and measure your child.

How much warmth does this wetsuit provide?

This wetsuit is made of 90% neoprene and 10% polyester, offering basic thermal insulation and protection against wind chill. It is best suited for warmer water conditions and is not designed for extreme cold.

Can this wetsuit be used for competitive swimming?

While comfortable for recreational swimming, this wetsuit is not designed for competitive swimming. Competitive suits are typically much thinner and designed for maximum hydrodynamics and minimal thermal insulation.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Measure your child's chest, waist, height, and inseam and compare these measurements to the brand's specific size chart. A good fit should be snug without restricting breathing or movement.

Is the 'Green' color available in other sizes?

The product information lists other color and size variations, such as Grey (5-6 Years), Blue, Orange (7-8 Years), and Pink (5-6 Years). Please refer to the product listing for all available options.

What is the difference between this and a rash vest?

A rash vest primarily offers UV protection and prevents chafing from surfboards or sand. This wetsuit provides both UV protection and a degree of thermal insulation due to its neoprene content.

Can I wash this in a washing machine?

No, it is recommended to hand wash the wetsuit with fresh water and a mild soap. Machine washing or tumble drying can damage the material and its properties.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit is difficult to put on

Ensure the child is dry. You can use a little talcum powder or a specialized wetsuit lubricant on the skin. Make sure the zipper is fully open and pull gently but firmly.

Chafing around neck or limbs

Check if the size is correct; a too-tight wetsuit can cause chafing. Ensure the flat seams are lying smoothly against the skin. The adjustable neckline can also be loosened if needed.

Wetsuit doesn't dry quickly

Ensure the wetsuit is thoroughly rinsed with fresh water. Hang it in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Avoid wringing the wetsuit, as this can damage the material and affect drying.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Rinse the zipper area with fresh water to remove sand or salt. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or even candle wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This wetsuit requires no assembly. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal performance and comfort.

Compatibility: Designed for general water sports and beach activities. While primarily for protection and some warmth, it is not a full-dive wetsuit and is best suited for water temperatures where hypothermia is not an immediate risk.

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water after each use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
  2. Hand wash gently with a mild soap if necessary. Do not use harsh detergents or bleaches.
  3. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  4. Dry flat or hang on a wide, padded hanger, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, to prevent fading and material degradation.
  5. Store flat or loosely rolled in a cool, dry place.
