Note: NCW does trade ins of ALL used wetsuits – kiddy suits included. If you’re looking to upgrade your child’s wetsuit, and have a pre-loved one you’re replacing, then get in touch. We can probably part exchange or buy your used wetsuit outright.

NOTE : Chest zip suits are top entry via the shoulder width of the suit and you have to pull the neck envelope over your head to zip closed. If your child has issues with tight fitting garments this may not be the suit for you. Even kids that may not initially like this style of wetsuit entry tend to get on fine with it once they have used the suit a few times. The benefit of the chest zip wetsuit performance, for most, outweigh getting used to putting it on.  Here is a video of an adult putting on a chest zip suit for you to see if you are unsure, watch the whole video or skip to around minute 6 to see how this works. Let them put one on and if they are not convinced no problem to return, see our returns policy.
