O'Neill Youth Reactor-2 2mm Short Sleeve Spring Wetsuit with Back Zip Review

Fits true to size. There is a seam on the neck collar, which can cause a rash if worn for a long time. This needs to be addressed in the design otherwise we love these wetsuits!

That's what you pay for. It's cheap for a reason. The biggest problem is the edge around the neck - it's sharp and scratches kids' necks to the point where they can't wear it anymore. In addition, the hair gets caught in the Velcro on the back.

My son used to have the same suit in a smaller size and the suit was great. The problem is that this larger size arrived folded with large creases. We sent it back and ordered a replacement - the second had even more creases. The suit is back. Proper care from my son over the past 2 years has been great. Gave enough flexibility to swim in and keep warm.

In fact, they can spend hours at the lake or beach without creating a frustrating situation (half an hour to put them in the car, half an hour on the road, just stay there 15 minutes and come back).

But it's so thin I knew the next size up would be too loose, so it fits true to size. In front of this suit, he cried and trembled during swimming practice and did not participate. When he first started, he was able to stay in the water for over an hour without complaint. It didn't smell like some reviews say and it survived 2 months of…
