FAQs
What is the wetsuit thickness?
The wetsuit has a thickness of 2.5mm, providing a good balance of flexibility and insulation.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The wetsuit should fit snugly like a second skin without restricting breathing or movement. Measure the child's chest, waist, and inseam and compare with the size chart. Pay attention to the specified age range (9-10 years for this specific product).
Can this wetsuit be machine washed?
No, the wetsuit should only be hand washed with a mild detergent. Machine washing or bleaching can damage the material and its properties.
Is this wetsuit suitable for cold water swimming?
This wetsuit provides heat retention and is suitable for cooler water compared to swimwear, but it is not a diving suit and may not be sufficient for very cold, prolonged immersion.
What activities is this wetsuit best suited for?
It is ideal for general water sports and activities such as swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, beach play, and learning to surf in moderate water temperatures.
How should I dry the wetsuit?
Always air dry the wetsuit away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not use a tumble dryer or place it on a radiator.
What does 'Contoured Fit' mean?
'Contoured Fit' means the wetsuit is shaped to follow the natural lines of the body, providing a streamlined and comfortable fit that enhances freedom of movement.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit is difficult to put on
Ensure the child is wearing smooth swimwear underneath and that the wetsuit is completely dry. Try putting it on from the legs upwards, ensuring each limb is fully extended. The extended zip pull is designed to assist with this.
Water ingress around the neck
Adjust the high-neck closure for a snugger fit. Ensure the wetsuit is the correct size and fit for the child's body.
Skin irritation or chafing
Ensure the wetsuit is the correct size and fit. The flat seams are designed to minimize chafing; however, if irritation persists, try wearing a thin rash vest underneath.
Wetsuit smells musty
Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water after every use and allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Hand wash periodically with a mild detergent.
