FAQs
What temperature water is this wetsuit suitable for?
The Freespirit Kids' Short Wetsuit is designed for temperate to cool water. While it provides warmth, it is a short wetsuit and may not be sufficient for very cold water conditions.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Freespirit size guide for children's wetsuits. A proper fit should be snug all over without restricting movement.
Can this wetsuit be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash gently with fresh water and mild soap if necessary, then rinse thoroughly.
Is the neoprene material durable?
Yes, the wetsuit is made from a combination of 90% Neoprene and 10% Nylon with flatlock seams, which are designed for durability and flexibility in water activities.
What is the purpose of the key pocket?
The key pocket is a small, integrated pocket designed to securely hold a small key or other essential items during water sports.
How should I dry my wetsuit?
Always dry the wetsuit flat or by the waist, away from direct sunlight. Avoid using a tumble dryer or direct heat sources.
Can this wetsuit be used for diving?
This short wetsuit is primarily intended for surface water sports and recreational activities. For diving, a full wetsuit or drysuit with appropriate thickness is typically required.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the size guide and try a different size if needed. A proper fit should be snug but not overly constricting.
Water leakage into the wetsuit
Check that all seams and the zipper are properly sealed. Ensure the wetsuit fits snugly around the neck, arms, and legs to minimize water entry. Minor leakage can be normal, but significant entry may indicate a fit issue.
Chafing or irritation
Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water. Ensure the flatlock seams are lying flat against the skin. If irritation persists, consider wearing a rash guard underneath.
Material has a strong odor
This is normal for new neoprene. Air out the wetsuit in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. The odor should dissipate over time.
