FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this wetsuit?
The primary purpose is to provide UV 50+ sun protection and comfort for children during water activities. It also offers a small degree of thermal insulation and buoyancy.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by the manufacturer. A proper fit should be snug, like a second skin, without being uncomfortably tight or restricting movement.
Can this wetsuit be used in cold water?
This wetsuit is designed primarily for warmer waters and sun protection. For very cold water, a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers may be necessary.
How often should I clean the wetsuit?
It is recommended to rinse the wetsuit with fresh, cold water after every use to remove salt, sand, or chlorine. A gentle hand wash with mild soap can be done periodically if needed.
Will the colors look exactly like they do on my screen?
Colors may appear slightly different in person than on your screen due to variations in screen calibration and lighting conditions during photography.
What is the UV protection rating?
The wetsuit provides a UV 50+ rating, offering excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun.
Can children put this on by themselves?
The back zip fastening with an extended zip pull is designed to make it easier for children to put on and take off the wetsuit, though some assistance might still be needed depending on the child's age and dexterity.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. A wetsuit should fit snugly but not restrict breathing or circulation. Refer to the sizing guide. If it's a new wetsuit, it may require a short break-in period.
Water seeps in around the neck.
Adjust the neckline to be as snug as comfortably possible. Ensure the collar lies flat against the skin. For prolonged submersion, consider a wetsuit with a more advanced sealing system.
Zipper is difficult to close or open.
Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down. If stiff, a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant on the teeth can help.
Material feels stiff after washing.
Ensure the wetsuit was rinsed thoroughly with fresh water and not over-dried. Avoid using harsh detergents. Air dry in a shaded area.
