FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the NatuR(r) BEYOND material?

The NatuR(r) BEYOND material is an eco-friendly natural rubber that provides excellent warmth and flexibility while being more sustainable than traditional neoprene.

How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?

The wetsuit should fit snugly like a second skin without restricting movement. Ensure there are no large gaps, especially around the neck, arms, and legs. The RevoFit 3D patterning aims for a natural, body-mapped fit.

Can this wetsuit be used for activities other than surfing?

Yes, this wetsuit is suitable for a wide range of water activities including swimming, bodyboarding, kayaking, and general beach play where warmth and flexibility are beneficial.

How should I care for the PK stainless steel zipper?

Rinse the zipper thoroughly with fresh water after each use to remove salt and sand, which can cause corrosion or stiffness. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the zipper.

Will this wetsuit keep my child warm in cold water?

This wetsuit provides reliable warmth for chilly water. However, for prolonged immersion in very cold conditions, a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers might be necessary.

What is the difference between the upper and lower body materials?

The upper body uses ultra-stretch X-Flex material for maximum flexibility, while the lower body features durable D-Flex panels and nylon lining to withstand abrasion from sand and surfaces.

Is this wetsuit suitable for a child who is just learning to swim?

Yes, the flexibility and comfort of this wetsuit make it a great choice for children learning to swim, as it allows for easy movement and provides a layer of warmth in the water.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels stiff or loses flexibility

Ensure the wetsuit is being rinsed thoroughly with fresh water after every use. Occasional washing with a mild soap can help maintain material flexibility. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.

Zipper is difficult to operate or corroded

Rinse the zipper area frequently with fresh water. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (specifically designed for wetsuits or marine use) if needed. Ensure the zipper is fully rinsed and dried after use.

Chafing or discomfort around the collar or seams

Ensure the wetsuit is the correct size. The Pro GlideSkin collar is designed to reduce chafing; ensure it is sitting properly. For persistent issues, consider using a rash vest underneath.

Water leakage, especially around the neck or seams

Check that the back-zip is fully closed and the collar is secured properly. Ensure the wetsuit fits snugly but not too tightly. Minor leakage can be normal, but significant amounts may indicate an ill-fitting wetsuit or a compromised seam.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eco-conscious material construction (NatuR(r) BEYOND natural rubber)
  • Excellent flexibility and freedom of movement in the upper body
  • Durable construction for active use at the beach or in the water
  • Comfortable lining for extended wear
  • Kid-friendly design with easy entry
  • Affordable option for junior water sports participants

Cons

  • Specifically sized for children and not suitable for adults
  • May offer less thermal insulation in very cold water compared to thicker wetsuits
  • Outer material may be susceptible to significant abrasion over time despite durable panels
  • Color may fade with prolonged sun exposure
  • Back-zip can sometimes be difficult for very young children to manage independently

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This wetsuit requires no specific setup beyond ensuring the correct size is chosen for the child. The back-zip entry system is designed for ease of use; ensure the PK stainless steel zipper is fully engaged when zipping up.

Compatibility: Designed for water sports such as surfing, bodyboarding, swimming, and general beach play. It is compatible with various water conditions where moderate warmth and flexibility are needed.

Care:

  1. Rinse: After each use, thoroughly rinse the wetsuit inside and out with fresh, cold water to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
  2. Washing: Occasionally, wash the wetsuit by hand using a mild soap or a specialized wetsuit shampoo. Avoid using harsh detergents or machine washing.
  3. Drying: Hang the wetsuit to dry away from direct sunlight and heat. Drying inside out is recommended initially, then turning it right-side out once the interior is mostly dry. Avoid wringing or stretching the material during drying.
  4. Storage: Store the wetsuit folded loosely or on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged storage in direct sunlight or humid environments.
