FAQs
What age group is this suit designed for?
This specific suit is sized for children aged 3-4 years.
Is this suit fully waterproof?
Yes, it features Isolite 5000 technology with taped seams and a durable water repellent finish, making it highly waterproof for active use.
Can I wash this puddle suit in a washing machine?
Yes, it is machine washable at 40°C. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach.
How should I dry the puddle suit?
It can be tumble dried on a low heat setting or hung to air dry. Avoid dry cleaning.
Does the hood have an adjustable drawstring?
This model features a grown-on hood, which is permanently attached, rather than one with an adjustable drawstring.
What does 'breathable' mean in relation to this suit?
Breathable fabric allows moisture vapor (like sweat) to escape from the inside, helping to keep the wearer more comfortable and preventing a clammy feeling during activity.
Are there other sizes available?
Yes, this model is available in a range of sizes for different age groups, from infants to older children.
Troubleshooting
Suit is no longer keeping the child dry.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor clothing. Ensure the taped seams are intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and try a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant if needed.
Fabric feels slightly stiff after washing.
This can sometimes occur. Ensure fabric softener was not used. A gentle tumble dry on a low heat can help restore some softness. Avoid harsh detergents.
