FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this wetsuit?
The Freespirit Kids' Short Wetsuit is primarily designed to provide thermal insulation, keeping children warmer and allowing them to stay in the water for longer periods during recreational activities.
Is this wetsuit suitable for cold weather or diving?
This wetsuit offers moderate warmth due to its 2.5mm neoprene. It is best suited for temperate to cool water conditions and general water sports. For very cold water or professional diving, a thicker, full-length wetsuit would be more appropriate.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
A properly fitting wetsuit should feel snug all over without restricting breathing or movement. It should not have significant gaps or baggy areas, especially around the neck, arms, and legs. Refer to the Freespirit size chart for guidance.
Can this wetsuit be machine washed?
No, it is recommended to hand wash the wetsuit using fresh water and a mild detergent. Machine washing can damage the neoprene and seams.
What is the material composition?
The wetsuit is made from 90% Neoprene and 10% Nylon.
Does the wetsuit come with a warranty?
Information regarding warranty is typically provided by the retailer at the point of purchase. Please check your receipt or contact the seller for warranty details.
How should I store the wetsuit when not in use?
Store the wetsuit hanging or loosely folded in a cool, dry, shaded place. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight or tightly packed, as this can cause damage and creases.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. A wetsuit should fit snugly but not restrict breathing or major movements. Check the size guide carefully.
Chafing or discomfort from seams.
Ensure the wetsuit is properly fitted. Flatlock seams are designed to minimize this, but a slight adjustment in fit might be needed. Using a rash guard underneath can also help.
Water leakage around the neck or limbs.
Check that all zips and seals are properly closed. Ensure the wetsuit fits snugly around the neck, wrists, and ankles. Minor flushing is normal, but excessive leakage indicates a fit issue.
Material appears degraded or stiff.
This may be due to improper drying or exposure to direct sunlight. Always rinse with fresh water and dry in the shade. Avoid harsh chemicals.
