FAQs
What is the wetsuit thickness?
The wetsuit has a thickness of 2.5mm.
Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?
The 2.5mm neoprene provides moderate warmth and is best suited for temperate to cooler water conditions rather than very cold environments. For colder water, a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers would be recommended.
How do I clean my wetsuit?
Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cool water after each use. Hand wash gently with mild soap if needed, and always dry naturally in the shade.
Can children wear this wetsuit for general swimming?
Yes, it can be used for general swimming to provide warmth and comfort, especially in cooler pools or open water.
What does 'Contrast Panel' and 'Contrast Stitching' mean?
This refers to design elements where different colored materials (panels) or thread (stitching) are used to create a visually distinct look against the main color of the wetsuit.
What is the purpose of the extended zip pull?
The extended zip pull makes it easier for children to grasp and pull the zipper up or down themselves, aiding in independent dressing and undressing.
Does the wetsuit offer UV protection?
While neoprene offers some barrier protection, the primary function of this wetsuit is thermal retention and freedom of movement. It is not specifically rated or designed for significant UV protection.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit is difficult to put on.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Try putting it on with dry skin, and consider using a rash vest underneath to help it slide on more easily.
Chafing or discomfort around the neck or seams.
Check that the high-neck is not too tight. Ensure the flat seams are lying flat against the skin. If persistent, consider wearing a thin rash vest underneath.
Wetsuit does not feel warm enough.
The 2.5mm thickness is suitable for moderate temperatures. For colder conditions, consider a thicker wetsuit or adding a thermal rash vest underneath.
Material feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild soap and rinsing thoroughly. Always dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

Setup:
This wetsuit is a pull-on garment and requires no complex setup. Ensure the correct size is selected for a snug, comfortable fit. The adjustable high-neck can be fastened as needed.

While designed for water sports, its material is generally compatible with most standard swimwear underneath for added comfort if desired. It is suitable for use in saltwater and freshwater environments.
Care:

- Hand wash: If necessary, hand wash gently with a mild soap or wetsuit-specific cleaner. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach.
- Dry naturally: Hang the wetsuit to dry in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which can degrade the neoprene. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
