Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This wetsuit is designed for immediate use. Ensure the child tries it on to confirm the correct fit. The back-zip entry system allows for easy dressing; the wearer should step into the legs, pull the suit up to the waist, then reach back to pull the zip cord and fasten the closure at the neck. For a proper seal, ensure no hair is caught in the zip or neck closure.
Compatibility:
This wetsuit is specifically designed for junior sizes (UK 7-8 for this variant) and is suitable for a range of water activities including surfing, paddleboarding, bodyboarding, and general swimming in temperate waters. It is designed to be worn as a standalone garment in suitable conditions.
Care:
- Rinsing: Always rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after each use, especially after exposure to saltwater or chlorine.
- Washing: Hand wash gently with a mild wetsuit shampoo or non-detergent soap if necessary. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Hang the wetsuit to dry away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid hanging by the shoulders; instead, drape it over a thick hanger or a drying rack to prevent stretching or creasing.
- Storage: Store the wetsuit flat or loosely rolled in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding it for extended periods, which can cause permanent creases. Keep away from sharp objects.
