Freespirit Kids' Short Wetsuit - Purple - 7-8

This short wetsuit is best suited for moderate water temperatures, generally above 18°C (65°F). It provides thermal protection but is not intended for very cold water conditions.

Refer to the size chart provided by the manufacturer. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and thermal performance. The wetsuit should be snug but allow for easy movement.

While it provides warmth, this wetsuit is designed for recreational water activities. For competitive swimming, specific racing suits are usually required, and wetsuits may be prohibited in certain events.

The product description does not specify eco-friendly materials. Standard neoprene is used, which has environmental considerations. Proper care will extend its lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacement.

The wetsuit is made from a durable blend of Neoprene and Nylon with flatlock seams, designed to withstand typical active play. However, it can be damaged by sharp objects or excessive abrasion.

The key pocket is small and designed to hold a single small key securely. Attempting to store larger items may cause discomfort or damage the pocket.

While the material covers the skin, it does not explicitly state UV protection properties. It is recommended to use sunscreen on exposed skin areas.

Ensure the inside of the wetsuit and the child's skin are dry. A thin layer of moisturizer or specialized wetsuit lubricant on the skin can help. Make sure the zipper is fully open before attempting to put it on.

Ensure the wetsuit fits snugly but not too tightly. Check that the flatlock seams are not causing discomfort. Rinse the wetsuit after use and consider wearing a rash guard underneath for added protection.

Ensure the wetsuit is properly cared for, as per the care instructions. Wetsuit material can degrade with improper washing or prolonged sun exposure. Check for any tears or damage to the neoprene.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track if it feels stiff.
