Great protection for little ones

On: 2008-08-22

We recently purchased this suit and it really helped our 4 year old son when we bareboat sailed the BVIs. There were a lot of jelly fish around and most of the adults got stung at least once in the 7 days we were there. This suit protected our son and he was comfortable and protected from the sun the entire time.

When it is dry, it looked a little saggy around the middle, but in the water it was perfect. He still has some growing to do and this suit should fit him till around age 6 since it stretches quite a lot.

Id recommend this well-made suit for any little ones who need extra protection from cold, sun or those pesty sea creatures.

it's great!

I bought 2 sizes for my son who is five. The suit has been keeping him warm for his swim lessons in an enclosed local pool. His teeth are no longer chattering. Were keeping the second suit for his future growth.

I really love this wetsuit for kids. My son has been reluctant to swim at the YMCA pool because the water is set at 82 degrees and he is shivering in about 10 minutes. We have tried the one piece nylon rash guard type swimsuit but it didnt do enough. The first time we tried this wetsuit, he was in for over 45 minutes. Now that he is a fish, I really enjoy the finer features of the suit. It is very rugged. I like the feel of the material. It is closefitting without being constricting. It has a long pull cord for the zipper in the back so the person can put it on by themselves. It also has a slot in the pull tab to put a velcro tab to hold the zipper in the up position. I wondered if this long cord would get in the way and it has not been a factor. It is definitely a plus. I was so pleased that I am keeping the next size up (I ordered 2 sizes so that I could see which one fit) for him to grow into. I also like the fact that it dries very quickly. You can use it daily and never have to worry about climbing into a damp, cold suit.
