Review on 🩴 Cressi Kids Short Sleeve Neoprene Swimsuit (1.5mm) | Boys and Girls Aged 2-10 | Designed in Italy by Alex Montgomery

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Extra layer of heat at no extra cost

Exactly what I expected. I bought this for my 22 month old son to keep him warm during swimming lessons. It's not a heavy suit, but the shoulders/sleeves/back are Lycra, not neoprene. He's still a bit cold but it's a thin and mixed material so I expected that. Next time we will use it as a bottom layer under a regular swimsuit and rashguard. For $22, it meets my expectations. If I wanted super warmth I would look for something more expensive, thicker neoprene (3mm or so from what I remember from my diving days). Sizing Notes: Ordered Small (1/2) for him. He's 36 inches tall and 29 pounds (very tall and skinny) but was still long enough for him and not too baggy. The leg openings weren't tight, but they weren't baggy either. 3/4 at his height would be so loose it would be meaningless. Smell Comments (based on other reviews): Neoprene smells. If you've ever smelled another wetsuit or neoprene brace, it's the same. Maybe other colors have a stronger smell (ours is black and green), but I'm usually sensitive to smells and haven't found anything unusual.
