Product Information

Full details

The Freespirit Kids' Short Wetsuit is designed for young adventurers engaging in any water-based activity. Its primary benefit is keeping children warmer and allowing them to swim for longer periods. A potential caveat is that while it enhances warmth, it is not a substitute for full thermal protection in extremely cold conditions. This wetsuit features a 2.5mm neoprene construction for flexibility and waterproofing, flatlock seams for comfort, a convenient back zip fastening, and an integrated key pocket.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of this wetsuit?

The Freespirit Kids' Short Wetsuit is designed to keep children warmer in the water, allowing them to swim and play for longer periods during water activities.

What material is the wetsuit made from?

It is made from 90% Neoprene and 10% Nylon, offering a balance of flexibility, stretch, and waterproofing.

How thick is the neoprene?

The neoprene used in this wetsuit is 2.5mm thick.

How do I wash the wetsuit?

It should be rinsed with fresh water after each use. Hand wash gently with mild soap if needed. Never machine wash or tumble dry.

Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?

While it provides warmth, the short design and 2.5mm thickness are best suited for moderate water temperatures. For colder conditions, a full wetsuit is recommended.

What is the key pocket for?

The small integrated pocket is designed to hold a single, small key.

Can children put this wetsuit on by themselves?

The back zip fastening with a long pull cord is designed to make it easier for children, with assistance, to put on and take off the wetsuit.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels restrictive

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Check that the back zip is fully closed and not caught on the fabric. The neoprene will become more flexible after a few uses.

Chafing around seams or edges

Ensure the wetsuit is the correct size and fit. Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly to remove any potential irritants. For prolonged use, consider wearing a rash vest underneath.

Wetsuit does not seem to be providing enough warmth

This short wetsuit is designed for moderate water temperatures. For colder conditions, a full wetsuit or additional thermal layers may be required.

Back zip is difficult to close

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zip. Slightly moisten the zip track if it feels stiff. The corded pull should make zipping easier; check it is not tangled.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Enhances warmth for extended water play.
Flexible neoprene material allows for good mobility.
Durable flatlock seams reduce the risk of skin irritation.
Convenient back zip makes it easy for children to put on and take off.
Includes a practical key pocket for small essentials.

Cons

May not provide sufficient warmth in very cold water conditions.
Short design offers limited coverage compared to a full wetsuit.
Neoprene material requires specific care to maintain its properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Freespirit Kids' Short Wetsuit requires no setup beyond putting it on the child. Ensure the back zip is fully fastened.

Compatibility: This wetsuit is designed for use in various water sports and recreational activities. It is compatible with other standard swimwear worn underneath if desired for extra layers, though this may slightly affect fit and flexibility.

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. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach.
Avoid machine washing and tumble drying, as these can damage the neoprene and seams.
Drip dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the material.
Store loosely folded or on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or high heat.
