Trespass Childrens Scubadive 3mm Short Wetsuit - Black - 9-10 Years

The 3mm short wetsuit is designed to provide core warmth and protection for children during water activities in temperate conditions, allowing for flexibility and ease of movement.

While it offers some insulation, the 3mm thickness and shorty design are generally best suited for warmer or temperate waters. For very cold conditions, a thicker, full-length wetsuit or a drysuit would be more appropriate.

Wetsuits should fit snugly like a second skin to minimize water entry. Try it on and ensure you can move your arms and legs relatively freely without the suit bunching up or feeling overly restrictive.

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash only with cold fresh water and mild soap. Machine washing or harsh detergents can damage the neoprene and seams.

Flat lock seams are stitched in a way that lies flat against the skin, reducing the risk of chafing and providing a more comfortable fit compared to raised seams.

Hang the wetsuit to drip dry, preferably on a wide hanger to maintain its shape, in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight and heat, as these can degrade the material.

This particular variant is for children's size 9-10 years.

Ensure the correct size is being used. Wetsuits should fit snugly but not restrict breathing or circulation. Check care instructions for any signs of material degradation.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Rinse the zipper with fresh water and try applying a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for wetsuits.

Make sure the flat-lock seams are lying flat against the skin. Consider wearing a rash vest underneath for added comfort, especially during long periods of activity.

Check for any tears or damage to the neoprene. Ensure the wetsuit is fitting properly without gaps where water can easily flush through. For colder conditions, consider layering with a thermal base layer.
