FULL SIZING INFO BELOW.
Children’s wetsuits can be tricky to size as kids of all ages comes in different shapes and sizes! As a result it is best to measure (per the diagram below) from their lower ankle (where trousers would end) across the front of the body to the lower centre neck (where a t-shirt crew neck centre would sit). The result will give you the measurement for the sizes in cm.
NOTE : The ages below are only a guide. For that reason you really need to measure as above to get the right fit. A snug fit is one of the most important factors in a winter wetsuit. Therefore please don’t be tempted to order your kids winter wetsuit in a size far larger than they need so it will last them longer. If the fit is loose it will not keep them nearly as warm as a tailored wetsuit. Do you need help? Call us (01208 880839).
If you are buying a kids winter wetsuit chances are you’ll need to keep their hands and feet warm too – see our kids wetsuit gloves and warm kids wetsuit socks and warm 3mm kids easy fit wetsuit ankle boots

Helen –
Brilliant suits.
If you can master getting into these suits – they are fab. Our son has had the same one for four years and it has kept him so warm, he outlasts all of us in the sea. He doesn’t want to change design now he’s finally grown out of it so we’ll be ordering another.
