This Mountain Warehouse wetsuit is designed for young swimmers aged 7-8, offering enhanced freedom of movement and thermal comfort in the water. Its quick-dry, lightweight neoprene material ensures comfort during water activities, though it's best suited for moderate water temperatures rather than extreme cold. Key features include heat retention, flat seams, and an adjustable high-neck design.

The wetsuit is designed with 2.5mm neoprene and heat retention technology, making it suitable for moderate water temperatures, generally recommended above 15°C (59°F). For very cold water, a thicker wetsuit may be required.
After each use, rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water. Hand wash only if necessary, using a mild soap. Do not use bleach or a tumble dryer. Allow it to dry flat away from direct sunlight.
A contoured fit means the wetsuit is shaped to follow the natural curves of the body, providing a closer, more anatomical fit. This enhances comfort and freedom of movement while ensuring the wetsuit stays in place.
While it offers freedom of movement, this wetsuit is primarily designed for recreational water sports and general warmth. For competitive swimming, regulations often prohibit wetsuits, or specific materials and thicknesses are mandated.
The extended zip pull is attached to the back zipper to make it easier for the wearer, especially children, to zip and unzip the wetsuit themselves without assistance.
While the neoprene material offers some resistance, prolonged exposure to pool chlorine can degrade the material over time. Rinsing with fresh water after pool use is recommended to prolong the life of the wetsuit.
The wetsuit has a thickness of 2.5mm.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 7-8 years size is specific and might not fit all children within that age range due to variations in build. The material will offer some stretch, but a proper fit is essential for comfort and performance.
Adjust the high-neck fastening to be snugger. Ensure the wetsuit is pulled on correctly and lies flat against the skin at the neckline. If the issue persists, the wetsuit may be too large or the neck seal is compromised.
Ensure the wetsuit is the correct size and fit. The flat seams are designed to minimize chafing, but a poorly fitting suit can still cause irritation. Wear a rash vest underneath if you experience persistent issues.
Ensure the child's skin is dry. Use the extended zip pull to help manage the back zipper. For initial use, it might feel stiff; try pulling it on gradually. Using a plastic bag over feet can help slide it on more easily.
Setup: This is a pull-on wetsuit. Ensure the child is comfortable and the neck seal is snug but not restrictive. The extended zip pull on the back makes it easier to fasten and unfasten.
Compatibility: Designed for water activities. It is compatible with other swimwear worn underneath if desired, though the neoprene material itself provides insulation.
