Product Information

Full details

This Freespirit Kids' Short Wetsuit in Yellow, Size 10, is designed for young adventurers participating in any water activity. Its primary benefit is keeping children warmer and allowing them to swim for longer periods. A potential caveat is that while offering warmth, it's a short wetsuit, ideal for moderate temperatures rather than extreme cold. Key features include its flexible, stretchy, and waterproof neoprene construction for comfort, flatlock seams for durability, a back zip fastening for ease of use, and a small key pocket.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of this short wetsuit?

The primary benefit is to keep children warmer during water activities, allowing them to swim and play for longer periods.

What material is the wetsuit made of?

The wetsuit is made of 90% Neoprene and 10% Nylon.

Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?

This is a short wetsuit with 2.5mm thickness, best suited for temperate water. For very cold conditions, a full wetsuit with greater thickness would be more appropriate.

How do I clean the wetsuit?

Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water after each use. Hand wash with mild soap if necessary, and dry in the shade away from direct sunlight.

Does the wetsuit have a key pocket?

Yes, it features a small key pocket for convenient storage.

What type of seams does the wetsuit have?

The wetsuit has flatlock seams, which are designed to be durable and comfortable against the skin.

How should I store the wetsuit when not in use?

Store the wetsuit hanging or loosely folded in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels tight or restrictive.

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Neoprene can take a few uses to break in. If still uncomfortable, consider a different size or style.

Chafing around the seams or neck.

Ensure the wetsuit is properly fitted. Applying a thin layer of body glide or wearing a rash guard underneath can help prevent chafing.

Wetsuit material feels stiff after drying.

Ensure the wetsuit was rinsed thoroughly with fresh water after use and dried out of direct sunlight. Avoid tumble drying or using heat sources.

Back zip is difficult to operate.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Rinse the zipper with fresh water and lubricate it with a wax or silicone-based zipper lubricant if needed.
