FAQs
What is the thickness of the neoprene?
The wetsuit is made from 2.5mm thick neoprene.
Can this wetsuit be machine washed?
No, it is recommended to hand wash the wetsuit with fresh water. Machine washing or tumble drying can damage the material.
What is the purpose of the extended zip pull?
The extended zip pull makes it easier for children to zip and unzip the wetsuit themselves, even when wet.
Is there a pocket for belongings?
Yes, there is a small key pocket integrated into the wetsuit for storing a small key.
What activities is this wetsuit suitable for?
It is suitable for a range of water activities such as swimming, beach play, paddleboarding, kayaking, and other watersports where warmth and protection are needed.
How should I dry the wetsuit?
Hang the wetsuit to dry in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
Does the wetsuit provide sun protection?
While the neoprene offers some coverage, it is not specifically designed as a sun protection garment. For full sun protection, consider wearing UV-protective clothing underneath or applying sunscreen.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Check the sizing guide and measure accordingly. Wetsuits should fit snugly, but not restrict breathing or major movement. If already purchased, check if a larger size is available.
Water leakage around the neck or limbs
Adjust the high-neck collar for a snugger fit. Ensure the arms and legs are pulled down fully. If leakage is significant, the size may be incorrect or the suit may be nearing the end of its lifespan.
Skin irritation or chafing
Ensure the wetsuit is rinsed thoroughly after use. Wear a rash vest underneath for added protection, especially if the flat seams are causing minor irritation. Make sure the suit is the correct size and not bunching up.
Difficulty pulling the wetsuit on
Ensure the child is relatively dry. Try pulling the suit on starting with the feet, then the legs, and finally the arms. Use the extended zip pull for assistance if needed. A small amount of talcum powder or water can sometimes help if the material sticks.
Wetsuit has an unusual odor
This can be normal for new neoprene. Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water. If the odor persists after rinsing and drying, try a gentle hand wash with a wetsuit-specific cleaner or mild soap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a pull-on wetsuit. Ensure the child is comfortable and has enough space to step into it, pulling it up over their legs and arms. The high-neck design should fit snugly but not be uncomfortably tight. The extended zip pull can be used to help guide the suit up if needed.
Compatibility: The wetsuit is designed for general water sports and activities. It is compatible with most standard swimwear worn underneath if desired, though the neoprene material itself offers protection.
Care Instructions:
- Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water after each use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
- Hand wash gently with mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Dry the wetsuit by hanging it indoors or in the shade, away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the neoprene. Ensure it is fully dry before storing.
- Store loosely folded or hung to prevent creases and damage to the material.
