Review on Aqua Sphere Stingray Core Warmer by Dave Brummet

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Beware of sizing issues! Order one size larger than necessary!

I don't know how well they work yet. We'll try them next week. My main problem is the sizes. I only know this problem because I ordered 2 suits! I ordered size 8 and size 6. Size 8 fit my 8 year old perfectly then I took 6 out of the box. Just looking at it made me sure they sent me the wrong size. I checked the tag twice and it said 6 but it looked like a size 4 (it didn't even fit my tall 3 year old). I sent it back and ordered another size 8 when he tried on the size 8 we received and it looked like it fit him. When I got it I checked the size and it actually said an 8. The problem is I keep it on the first size 8 I bought and they are obviously not the same size. It says 8 on it but looks like a size 6. My almost 7 year old just fits in it. Someone in Aqua Sphere's quality control department is sleeping at work, and I think these things are marked the wrong size. As I said, I would never have known about it if I hadn't bought two. I intend to contact Aqua Sphere to interrogate her. I will update this review if/when they reply to me. ***** Update ***** The company responded and explained that they had switched manufacturers and that they were trying to ensure stock was from only one company, but obviously not all the older, larger ones got A's. So if you're ordering for a child who wears size 7-8 clothing, order a size 10 in this suit! We tried the suit out in the pool early in the season and it works well to keep my kids (who usually catch cold very easily) from getting cold during swim practice. So I like the product and not the tire I had to deal with when sizing.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
