FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this wetsuit?
This wetsuit is designed for children's leisure activities in and around water, providing warmth and protection.
How do I choose the right size?
It's important to measure your child's chest, waist, and height and compare these to the product's sizing chart. A snug fit is crucial for performance.
Can this wetsuit be used for surfing?
While it provides warmth, this wetsuit is primarily designed for leisure. For more demanding water sports like surfing, a thicker or more specialized wetsuit might be necessary depending on water temperature.
Is the material stretchy?
Yes, the bonded neoprene fabric is designed to offer flexibility and allow for unrestricted movement.
How do I clean my child's wetsuit?
Always rinse with fresh water after use. Hand wash gently with mild soap if needed, and always drip dry in the shade. Never machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the benefit of the flat seams?
Flat seams are designed to lie smoothly against the skin, reducing the potential for irritation and chafing during wear.
Does it have any pockets?
Yes, it features a small, discreet key pocket for carrying essentials.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the child's measurements. Refer to the sizing guide. A contoured fit is expected, but it should not impede basic movement.
Chafing around the neck or limbs
Verify the adjustable neck strap is not too tight. Ensure the flat seams are lying correctly against the skin. For prolonged use, consider a rash vest underneath.
Wetsuit does not seem to retain much warmth
Check that the wetsuit fits snugly, as a gap can allow cold water to flush through. Ensure the zip is fully closed and the neck strap is adjusted appropriately.
Difficulty zipping up or down
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Use the extended zip pull. If the zipper feels stiff, you can try applying a small amount of silicone-based lubricant designed for wetsuits.
