High flexibility and fantastic heat capacity are the hallmarks of the Watery Gecko 3 mm wetsuit for kids. A wetsuit made for both fun and games in the water, for SUP or kayak trips and for open water swimming. With this wetsuit, your kid gets a wetsuit that is suitable almost all year round except for the coldest months of the year due to the 3 mm thick neoprene, which is an optimal medium thickness
The wetsuit is also a further enhancement of our very popular Hedgehog wetsuit, where a skin coating of neoprene has now been added on the belly and back. This both warms up the suit even more, and makes it more flexible in the chest region. We also cannot ignore the fact that colours are sometimes cool, here in our Gecko model for kids in the colour Electric blue, but which is also available in Electric blue.
When staying in or by the sea, the wetsuit is an essential part of the experience in the water, where flexibility, heat capacity and buoyancy are particularly important. This also applies to the SUP enthusiast, where you in particular need a suit that allows great freedom of movement and can keep your kid warm on the board and also if you fall into the water.
Precisely because of this, the suit is 3 mm thick, which means that your kid gets an optimal combination of flexibility and warmth. The wetsuit is made from thermal neoprene, which has a very high stretchability. The fact that it is thermal guarantees that the kid gets increased heat capacity compared to other suits of the same thickness. Therefore, the person will be better able to retain the heat.
Performance in relation to the need for flexibility during any type of swimming has been one of our focus areas. This, combined with increased flexibility around the arms, increases freedom of movement.
We have also focused on making the neck opening more comfortable, so that the kid does not experience severe chafing. This is done by using Korean neoprene, which provides a tight and soft close. In addition, you can easily adjust the neck opening so that the optimal fit is achieved for the individual kid.
Last but not least, it is equipped with a zip at the back, which makes it easy for the kid to open and close the suit themselves. It is also equipped with flexible double-layer ankle and hand panels, which is particularly beneficial for kids, as they often rush to remove the suit as soon as possible once they are out of the water. To make it possible for the kid to close the wetsuit themselves, we have also added a string at the back, so they can pull it up to zip the suit.
