From the Manufacturer
Perfectly suited for active kids - designed to move with them, no matter the watersport. Akona's Ultra-Flex Neoprene Technology lets kids stay comfortable while being protected from the elements.
Parent's Gear Tip: Wetsuits function by trapping a very thin layer of water between the neoprene and the skin, which the body quickly heats. To keep your child warm and shivering-free, ensure the shorty fits snugly all over their body without sagging or bunching, which prevents cold water from continuously flushing through the suit.
Strategic 3/2mm Dual-Thickness: Built with 3mm neoprene around the torso and chest to protect the core against cold water and wind-chill, paired with 2mm high-flex neoprene around the shoulders and sleeves. This dual-thickness design keeps kids warm where it matters most without restricting their natural arm movement.
Premium Limestone Neoprene: Crafted from eco-friendly, ultra-soft limestone-based neoprene. This high-grade material is significantly lighter and more flexible than traditional petroleum-based rubber, making the suit highly comfortable for all-day wear.
Heavy-Duty Back Zipper with Pull Leash: Outfitted with a marine-grade, corrosion-proof back zipper. It features an extra-long nylon pull leash, allowing independent kids to easily zip and unzip the suit on their own.
Flatlock Anti-Chafe Seams: Constructed using specialized flatlock stitching that lays completely flat against the skin. This breathable seam layout eliminates the friction, rubbing, and skin irritation common during high-energy water sports.
Excellent Sun & Marine Protection: Acts as a complete physical barrier across the core, shoulders, and upper thighs. It provides built-in UV shielding (SPF 50+) to prevent sunburns during long hours on the water, while also protecting against sea lice and minor scrapes.
