What to consider when buying a wetsuit for kids

Material

Wetsuits are usually made of neoprene.

They can come in various thicknesses which suit different seasons.

The thicker the neoprene, the more effective the wetsuit will be at keeping the child warm.

Comfort

Good wetsuits should be comfortable for kids to wear.

They wont want to feel restricted, so the flexibility of the neoprene should be good so that they can easily move around and play in them.

Ease Of Use

So think about how easy the wetsuit is to put on and take off.

Your child will only get frustrated if the wetsuit is really hard to pull on so its worth checking that they can easily get into and out of the wetsuit.
