FAQs

What is the wetsuit thickness?

This wetsuit has a thickness of 2.5mm, providing a good balance of flexibility and thermal insulation for various water activities.

Can this wetsuit be machine washed?

No, this wetsuit should only be hand washed with cold water and mild detergent. Machine washing can damage the neoprene material.

How should I dry my wetsuit?

Always dry your wetsuit in the shade. Do not tumble dry or expose it to direct sunlight, as this can degrade the material.

Is there a pocket for keys?

Yes, there is a small key pocket integrated into the design.

What age/size is this wetsuit for?

This specific variant is for children in UK size 5-6 years.

Will this wetsuit keep my child warm in very cold water?

The 2.5mm neoprene offers good warmth for moderate conditions. For extremely cold water, a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers might be necessary.

What does 'Contoured Fit' mean?

Contoured fit means the wetsuit is shaped to follow the natural lines of the body, providing a closer fit that enhances flexibility and reduces drag in the water.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the sizing guide. Wetsuits should be snug but not overly constrictive, allowing for movement. The material may also loosen slightly with wear.

Water leakage around the neck or seams

Adjust the high-neck fastening for a tighter fit. Ensure the flat seams are lying correctly against the skin. For persistent leakage, consider if the size is appropriate or if the suit has been damaged.

Material stiffness after drying

Ensure the wetsuit is properly rinsed with fresh water after each use. Avoid drying in direct sunlight. If stiffness persists, a specific neoprene care product might be considered, but follow manufacturer guidelines.

Difficulty pulling the wetsuit on or off

Ensure the wetsuit is completely dry. Using a plastic bag on feet and hands can help slide it on. The extended zip pull is designed to aid with removal; ensure it is used correctly. Do not force zippers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This wetsuit is a pull-on style and requires no assembly. Ensure the child tries it on for fit before use. The adjustable high-neck may need to be fastened snugly.

Compatibility: Suitable for a variety of water sports and activities. Designed for children wearing UK size 5-6. The neoprene material is durable for general water use.

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse After Use: Always rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after each use, especially after swimming in chlorinated pools or saltwater.
  2. Hand Wash Only: If washing is necessary, use a mild detergent and hand wash in cool water. Do not use washing machines or dryers.
  3. Dry in Shade: Hang the wetsuit to dry completely in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can degrade the neoprene material over time.
  4. Avoid Folding: Store the wetsuit flat or on a wide hanger to prevent creases and damage to the material.
