Kids' Wetsuits: Surf, Bodyboard, and Water Sports

What thickness should you choose for a child?

Children are generally more sensitive to cold than adults. Therefore, it is important to choose a wetsuit suitable for the water temperature. A 3/2 mm wetsuit often provides an excellent compromise for summer sessions, while a 4/3 mm offers more comfort during spring, autumn, or in cooler regions.

For winter sessions or the coldest waters, thicker models effectively retain heat and extend the time spent in the water.

A complete range for the whole family

Needs naturally evolve with age and body shape. Parents can find suitable equipment in our collections of Men's Wetsuits and Women's Wetsuits to equip the whole family with consistent products suited to the conditions encountered.

This approach allows sharing the same sessions while benefiting from equipment specifically designed for each practitioner.

Full wetsuit or shorty for a child?

The choice mainly depends on the water temperature and the season. In summer or in the warmest waters, a Shorty can offer an excellent compromise between thermal comfort and freedom of movement.

When conditions become cooler, a full wetsuit generally remains the best solution to maintain a comfortable body temperature throughout the session.

Useful accessories when the water cools down

For young practitioners surfing outside the summer period, certain accessories become particularly interesting. Neoprene Booties help retain heat in the feet, while Neoprene Gloves limit heat loss in the hands.

When temperatures drop further, Neoprene Hoods provide additional protection that is particularly appreciated for long sessions.

Maintaining a children's wetsuit

Children often use their gear intensively during holidays or surf camps. Rinsing with clear water after each session and drying in the shade helps preserve the flexibility of the neoprene and extend the wetsuit's lifespan.

Products for Neoprene Care also help maintain the material's properties and prolong thermal performance season after season.
