Kids Shorty Wetsuit - 2.5mm Neoprene Junior Wetsuit by Mountain Warehouse Review

This wetsuit is great! I bought one for my 2.5 year old as it gets cooler in California even with an 82 degree pool and he will be shivering. Now he's not only warm in this wetsuit, he swims a lot better too. He looks adorable in it. I bought him a size for 3-4 years so we can get money for the baby from him. He's 77% tall and 70% heavy to give you an idea. No strong chemical smell like in the review I read, no rash or irritation.

I bought this wetsuit for my skinny 5 year old son and am very impressed with the quality compared to other similarly priced wetsuits like the tuga he was wearing. The panels make it more defined. I will say this is probably not the best wetsuit for big kids as my son's feet are a tighter fit than the others. This is good for him as he is thin but may not suit other children who are taller. The neck covering is good and everything seems to be of a much higher quality than what he was wearing.

Kids wetsuit is really good warm. The only major issue and the reason for only 2 stars is that all four Mountain Warehouse wetsuits I bought for my 3 grandchildren gave rashes under the chin/neck. This is because the neck is so high that it touches and rubs the baby's chin/neck, causing a rash. What a shame because I was happy with the purchase until I spent an hour in them at sea. I'm sending them back for this reason. My 9 year old grandson had to wear a size 11/12. My 8 year old grandson…

I bought this wetsuit because my 3 year old daughter's lips and fingers turned blue after about 30 minutes in a 27-26 degree pool. I would have to interrupt her swimming lessons to warm her up. This shorty kept her warm for about an hour before she started turning blue. My daughter wears a 4T top and 3T bottoms and this suit was a bit baggy. However, it is ideal for maintaining a stable internal temperature for about an hour. My daughter did really well in her swim class because she focused on…

I bought these for my two children (9 year old boy and 6 year old girl) and they are a huge hit. They're perfect for extra warmth during your morning swim lesson or at the water park. My kids now generally prefer them in the pool as well because they love the cover and don't have to deal with changing swimwear. They think the shorts are super comfortable and the sun protection is great. They know what they mean when they leave their favorite cartoon character costumes at home in favor of this…

We used these on vacation in northern Michigan as the ice melt is a bit late this year. Fantastic quality wetsuits! Children played in the sand and climbed in all day. They stayed warm in the water and it saved our trip because of that! I would order it again in a heartbeat! I highly recommend this product. If you order I would say they run a little small so order the next size up than what your child wears and dresses. It's also worth mentioning that I had to exchange several wetsuits for…

I bought this for my 7 year old grandson who loves sharks. By the time he was three he knew almost every name for every species of shark on the planet. (When he was bitten by a bamboo shark at the aquarium, his grandfather convinced him that he now qualified as a marine biologist.) So he was adamant he needed a wetsuit. Since it is very warm where they live, I decided to buy him a short suit instead of a long suit. Well, looks like I was a little hasty, he really wasn't ready to try on our…

That fits well. He's a slim two-year-old but tall for his age, around 128 pounds. I bought a size 3-4 and it fits him perfectly with room to grow. It fits a 3 year old or a small 4 year old child. I also bought one for my 6 year old girl size 7-8, she is medium sized maybe a little over 6. They both loved wearing them to swimming lessons in the pool. She stayed warmer than him, his lips turning blue, but not until the end of the lesson. If he didn't have it, it would be instantly. The pool is…

Our very first wetsuit for our 11 year old was the Body Glove. Now we have three children and we have decided that branded wetsuits are not cost effective even if we pass them on to the next child. So my search for a cheap wetsuit began. I have ordered countless wetsuits from Amazon ranging from $30-$40. Everything didn't fit terribly or didn't fit in size. Then I ordered this one last year. It fits perfectly! Now, at the end of the year, with the first frost on Friday (dad is still slalom and…
