Rating: Outstanding wetsuit for kids!
Reviewer: Inna M.,
Weve used these shorty wetsuits for years and are extremely pleased with the quality. My kids find them warm and comfortable. I find them durable and able to stand up very well to years of wear. Wetsuits have to be tight to keep you warm, so assure your kids that although the wetsuit will feel tight when you first put it on dry, it will loosen up in the water. We find that the wetsuits run large ... have consistently purchased suits that are smaller in size than the age of our children because we want them tight (age 6 daughter wore a size 4 suit, age 11 daughter wore a size 8.)

Rating: excellent fit, well-made suit
Reviewer: Rebecca S., - View all my reviews
I bought two of these for our grandsons, age 10 and 11, who are newly certified divers, as added warmth over their dive suits for Cozumel. They are both tall and thin(about 411", 70lbs). The size small (10) fit them both perfectly and still gives room to grow in the body, both length and width. They are constructed like our adult suits, so will wear well and provide protection and warmth, and can be worn alone playing in the ocean.

Rating: Great for Swimming Lessons
Reviewer: Edward S.,
We bought this wetsuit for our son to keep him warmer during winter swim lessons. Not only did he stay happier in the pool, the added buoyancy helped him transition to swimming without added flotation. When summer arrives, were looking forward to the beach, where the water will still be pretty cold, so this suit should be a big plus. I think a few other parents will be shopping for a shorty suit for their kids after seeing this one.

Rating: yes, buy the wetsuit for your child
Reviewer: Katherine B.,
My 10 year old gets very cold when swimming in a pool. We were heading to Canada where I knew he would encounter colder water. He was able to enjoy excursions in the water because of his wetsuit. I talked to one of the sizing experts before buying because his height and weight were not matching a specific size, they were very helpful and the fit was great. Looks like he can wear it again next year. I have a dive shop that can sell the suit on consignment when outgrown, so there are ways to pass it onto others. Definitely worth it to see him have fun without getting blue so quickly.

Rating: Excellent fit - Good value
Reviewer: Joseph G.,
Fits great and has really extended the time that my grandson can stay in the water without getting cold. We use in the ocean and in our unheated pool. I was concerned that it might chaff his neck and be uncomfortable, but that has not been the case. He wears it the entire time we are at the beach, even when hes playing in the sand.

Great Wetsuit
Reviewer: Leah T.,
We needed something to keep our skinny 5 year old boy warm at an indoor waterpark. It was perfect for warmth. The only problem was the neckline. It rubbed against his neck and made it raw. I would recommend a turtleneck neoprene shirt underneath. We ordered the size according to the sizing chart and it fit perfectly.

Rating: Way Cute!!!
Reviewer: Stacie Baird,
This wetsuit is more than adorable on our 3 year old!!! The only problem that I have with it is that it is a little lose around the legs. I think the fit overall is as good as you could get for a 3 year old without having something custom made. The value is great and hopefully we can pass it on through the years.

I bought myself a Henderson Shorty and bought this Henderson 3mm Childs Thermoprene Shorty for my 7 year old daughter.
So hard to find a kid’s wetsuit for 7 years old that have any real amount of thermal protection. The Henderson 3mm Thermoprene was the answer. I daughter is very comfortable with it and provides good thermal protection for a 3mm wetsuit. She plays in the sand and snorkels all day without discomfort.
Another nice added value is since wetsuits are buoyant, it helps out snorkeling for extended periods of time.
Overall, I recommend this wetsuit for thermal and sun protection.

Rating: Wetsuit
Reviewer: Margaret Peters,
very pleased with this purchase. bought these wetsuits for multiple purposes the beach, our pool and jetskiing. i ordered two sizes for both my kids that are 6 and 10 to make sure they had the right fit and returned the others with no hassles.customer service is very helpful with sizing and finding the right suit for us. i would say suits are true to size. we were going to the beach in maine and the water is beyond cold! great to block out the sun and definitely with the 60 degree water. wetsuit is easy to get on and off. suit is soft and very flexible and is made well to protect against shafing.i would highly recommend purchasing from scuba.com and particlurly these suits.

Reviewer: Elissa B.,
This items fit like a glove for my 3 year old. I based the size on the height and weight specs and it fit perfectly. It is easy enough for him to get in and out of it. I highly recommend this for your little one.

Reviewer: Robin F.,
I ordered this wet suit and had a rush on it for next day. I recieved this product the very next day and my duaghter LOVES it. She had swimming lessons in a cold lake with a river running through it and the water is very cold. This suit was the best. She said it kept her warm. I will order again from this company.

Rating: Great fit!
Reviewer: Kevin M.,
We purchased this suit for my 8 year old son for a trip to Maui. We had gone to a local sporting store to try on a wetsuit to get an idea of size for him. After looking at the size chart we based our decision on weight and we couldnt be happier. The wetsuit fit great and hell hopefully get a couple of years out of it. We was extremely comfortable in the water with it and the suit made all of the difference in the world! He LOVES snorkeling and now he can do so very comfortably for hours in this shorty wetsuit!

Rating: High quality product - well worth the money
Reviewer: Anand R.,
Bought the suit for my 3.5 yr old. Fit a tad on the loose side(my son is a skinny 34lb, 40in tall child). I view this as a plus because I believe that the suit will last him at least a couple of seasons.
The suit seems to be very comfortable - my son does not hesitate to complain if there is any tightness, restriction or lack of comfort - the lack of complaints with this suit is a great sign.
It is certainly keeping him warm - before this suit, he would not last more than 15 mins in our pool - he is now able to swim around for a couple of hours (we had to get him out).
All in all a great buy!

Just started boating and my girls did not like swimming in the cold water. They loved their new wetsuits! They would not go in the water without them.

Rating: Great Fit & Great Product
Reviewer: Joseph C.,
Purchased this "blindly" and turns out to be great. It fits my 4 year old daughter perfectly and keeps her warm at the pool when the weather is not cooperating (Eastern PA)! She is very comfortable in it as well.

This suit has a much softer texture than other wet suits we have owned plus 1mm thicker than you normally see for extra warmth. We liked it so much we bought another one for my son!
