FAQs
What is the wetsuit thickness?
The wetsuit has a thickness of 2.5mm, providing a good balance of warmth and flexibility for water activities.
Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?
This is a short-length wetsuit designed for moderate to warm water conditions. For very cold water, a full-length wetsuit or a thicker neoprene suit would be more appropriate.
How do I clean the wetsuit?
Always rinse the wetsuit with fresh, cold water after each use. Hand wash gently with a mild soap if needed, and dry flat away from direct sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Can children put this wetsuit on by themselves?
The pull-on design and extended zip pull are intended to make it easier for children. However, depending on the child's dexterity, some assistance may be required.
What is the purpose of the small key pocket?
The small key pocket is designed for convenient and secure storage of a small item, such as a locker key or house key, while the wearer is in the water.
Does this wetsuit come in other colors or sizes?
Yes, this model is available in various colors and sizes. Please check the product listing for available options.
How should I store the wetsuit when not in use?
Store the wetsuit in a cool, dry place. It is best to hang it or roll it loosely to avoid creating permanent creases in the neoprene.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit is difficult to put on.
Ensure the child is relatively dry. Putting on the wetsuit from the legs up can be easier. A plastic bag can be placed over feet and hands to help them slide through the neoprene.
Water ingress around the neck.
Adjust the high-neck closure to be tighter. Ensure the neck is clean and free of obstructions. If the fit is too large for the child's neck, it may allow more water in.
Skin irritation or chafing.
Ensure the wetsuit is the correct size and fit. Flat seams help minimize irritation. For longer durations, consider wearing a thin rash vest underneath. Always rinse the suit after use.
Wetsuit smells strongly.
This is common with neoprene. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each use. For persistent odors, a specialized wetsuit shampoo can be used, or soak in a solution of water and a small amount of mild, non-detergent soap.
