Freespirit Kids' Short Wetsuit - Purple - 9-10

The primary purpose is to keep children warmer during water activities, allowing them to stay in the water for longer periods than they might without protection.

This is a short wetsuit with 2.5mm thickness, designed for moderate water temperatures. For very cold conditions, a full-length wetsuit with thicker neoprene would be more appropriate.

Rinse with cold, fresh water after each use. If a deeper clean is needed, hand wash gently with mild soap and rinse thoroughly. Always air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.

The wetsuit is made of 90% Neoprene and 10% Nylon, providing a balance of warmth, flexibility, and durability.

The product description mentions a key pocket, but does not specify if it has a zipper. It is typically a simple slit pocket designed for small items.

Children's sizes can vary by brand. Size 9-10 generally corresponds to children around that age, but it's always best to consult the specific size chart for Freespirit for precise measurements.

No, machine washing or tumble drying is not recommended as it can damage the neoprene and stitching. Always follow the hand wash and air dry care instructions.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. A wetsuit should be snug, but not overly tight. Check the size guide and consider if a larger size is needed. The neoprene will also loosen slightly with use.

Check that the back zip is fully closed and the neck tab is secured. Minor seepage at seams is normal for a short wetsuit; the material will warm the water trapped inside. If significant leakage occurs, check for damage to seams or the zipper.

Ensure the wetsuit fits properly without excessive bunching. The flatlock seams are designed to minimize irritation. For extended wear or sensitive skin, consider wearing a rash guard underneath.

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after every use. If odors persist, hand wash with a mild neoprene-friendly soap and rinse again. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
