Troubleshooting

Wetsuit is difficult to put on or take off.

Ensure the wetsuit size is appropriate and that the child is not pulling on the suit too hard. Use a wetsuit lubricant or a plastic bag over the feet and hands to ease the process.

Water is entering the wetsuit.

Check the fit around the neck, wrists, and ankles for a snug seal. Ensure the zip is fully closed. Inspect seams for any damage.

Wetsuit feels cold after a short time in the water.

Make sure the wetsuit fits correctly, as a loose fit can allow water to circulate and reduce insulation. Check the thermal lining for any damage.

Zipper is stuck or hard to close.

Rinse the zipper with fresh water and apply a zipper lubricant. Ensure no sand or debris is trapped in the zipper teeth.

Care:
