Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Waterwear Salopette 2.0 is designed for young sailors and water sports enthusiasts who require professional-grade gear that moves with them. Developed with direct input from the Norwegian national sailing teams, these salopettes prioritize freedom of movement and durability through the use of high-stretch, limestone-based neoprene. While they offer exceptional comfort and protection, parents should note that the specialized fit is designed specifically for active water-based performance rather than casual everyday wear.

FAQs

Are these suitable for cold water swimming?

The salopettes are designed for water sports where performance is key; they provide thermal protection but are not full drysuits.

Can the length be adjusted by the user?

Yes, the design includes adjustable length features to provide a more customized and growth-friendly fit.

How do I clean the neoprene safely?

Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water and allow it to air dry in the shade.

Is the material waterproof?

The neoprene construction is water-resistant and designed to keep the wearer warm even when wet by trapping a thin layer of water against the body.

What is the purpose of the crotch gusset?

The gusset is designed to improve comfort and mobility, preventing the fabric from bunching and reducing tension during movement.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels too tight or restrictive

Adjust the length settings to provide more slack and ensure the material is distributed evenly across the torso and legs.

Material showing signs of wear at the seams

Check if the garment was dried in direct sunlight, which can weaken seams; ensure proper air-drying in a cool, shaded area.

Salopette sliding during activity

Verify that the non-slip interior hem is clean and free of debris to allow the grip material to make proper contact with the skin or base layer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent freedom of movement due to stretchy neoprene construction
  • Reinforced knee areas provide extra longevity
  • Reduced chafing from flatlock seam technology
  • Adjustable fit allows for longer-term use as the child grows
  • Secure fit prevents sliding during high-intensity sports

Cons

  • Material properties are optimized for water sports rather than land-based casual play
  • Requires specific care to maintain neoprene integrity
  • Limited to black colorway

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To achieve the best fit, ensure the adjustable length settings are configured before entering the water. The material should fit snugly against the body to optimize thermal efficiency and prevent excess water from gathering inside.

Compatibility: These salopettes are best paired with other Helly Hansen waterwear or technical base layers to maximize thermal regulation.

Care Instructions: To maintain the elasticity and durability of the neoprene:

  1. Always rinse with fresh, cold water immediately after salt water use.
  2. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach.
  3. Air dry away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, which can degrade the neoprene.
  4. Store flat or on a wide hanger to prevent permanent creasing.
