Kids Wetsuits & Junior Wetsuits

Find a kids or junior wetsuit for family snorkelling trips and time in the water. Compare neoprene thickness, coverage and entry style, then choose the model and size for your child’s current measurements.

Choose by measurements, with age as a guide

Kids, junior and youth labels overlap between brands. Measure height, chest, waist and any other dimensions requested by the product’s size chart in centimetres. Approximate ages are a guide only: children of the same age can need different sizes. Use the relevant brand’s chart where available, and ask us if the fit is unclear.

Look for a comfortable current fit

A wetsuit should fit closely while allowing comfortable breathing and movement at the shoulders, hips and knees. Check the neck, wrists and ankles for fit. Avoid choosing an oversized suit simply to allow for future growth; the fit needs to work now. Some listings offer youth sizes alongside adult sizes, so check the exact option before ordering.

Compare thickness and coverage

Consider water conditions, time in the water and how readily your child feels cold. Compare the material, lining and coverage of each model rather than relying on thickness alone. A lightweight stinger suit serves a different purpose from an insulating neoprene wetsuit.

Putting together a child’s snorkelling kit?
