- • Best for: Young swimmers and surfers needing warmth, sun protection and flexible movement
- • Not ideal for: Prolonged exposure in very cold waters where heavier thermal layers are required
A one-piece long-sleeve youth wetsuit that pairs neoprene insulation with UPF 50+ sun protection. A long back zipper strap and SCR neoprene with lycra support easier dressing and a snug, flexible fit.
Keeps children warm - thanks to neoprene thermal construction
SCR neoprene traps a thin layer of water next to the skin which warms to body temperature, while lycra adds flexibility and comfortable stretch. The material also contributes modest buoyancy and abrasion resistance.
Reliable warmth reduces shivering and extends comfortable time in cool water during lessons and family beach sessions.
Sun and skin protection - with UPF 50+ fabric
Fabric rated UPF 50+ blocks a high proportion of ultraviolet rays on covered areas of skin, reducing direct sun exposure. The long-sleeve one-piece design increases covered surface area compared with standard swimwear.
Covered areas need less frequent reapplication of sunscreen, making long beach days or lessons less stressful for carers.
Quick dressing and removal - with long back zipper strap
A long strap on the back zipper provides extra reach so the zip runs more smoothly and the suit can be pulled up or down with less effort. The zipper mechanism is described as reliable and easy to operate.
Faster changes between activities, and easier assistance from parents or instructors when needed.
