Hevto Kids Wetsuit Shorty 2mm Neoprene Front-Zip (Blue, Size 6) — Warm, Flexible & High-Visibility

The Hevto Kids Wetsuit Shorty is a 2mm neoprene, front-zip short wetsuit designed to keep boys and girls warm, protected and mobile during swimming, snorkeling and beach play.

This shorty from Hevto blends soft, flexible 2mm neoprene with a front zipper for easy on-and-off so children can move freely while staying comfortable in cooler water. The wetsuit’s design includes bright blue stripes and wing-shaped shoulders for visibility, plus enough coverage to reduce wind chill and guard against surface abrasion and sun exposure during active water time.

How does the Hevto shorty help kids stay comfortable in the water?

The 2mm neoprene balances warmth and flexibility, keeping the core warm without restricting limbs. A snug cut and smooth seams minimize water flushing so children feel comfortable for longer sessions.

• Soft 2mm neoprene for warmth and stretch
• Front zipper for quick dressing and removal
• Snug, ergonomic fit to reduce water flow inside the suit
• Flat seams to limit chafing during play

Will this wetsuit protect my child from sun and minor scrapes?

The Hevto shorty offers coverage across the torso, shoulders and thighs to reduce direct sun on sensitive skin and shield against light abrasions from board or reef contact. While not a replacement for sunscreen on exposed areas, it reduces overall sun exposure and helps prevent grazes during active play.

• Torso, upper-arm and thigh coverage to lower UV exposure
• Durable outer surface resists scuffs and light abrasions
• Easy-to-clean fabric after beach or pool days

How visible and safe is the design for group activities?

Bright blue stripes from armpits to thighs and wing-shaped shoulders increase surface visibility, helping parents and instructors spot kids more quickly in groups. The color contrast and pattern work well both in shallow water and against sandy beaches.

• Contrasting blue stripes for improved surface visibility
• Distinctive shoulder panels for quick recognition in groups
• Compact, close-fitting silhouette reduces snag risk

How should I choose the right size and care for the wetsuit?

Pick the size that matches your child’s height and chest measurements; a snug fit is intended to trap a thin insulating layer of water. Rinse with fresh water after use, lay flat or hang to dry out of direct sunlight, and avoid machine drying to prolong neoprene life.

• Choose a close but comfortable fit to maintain thermal performance
• Rinse with fresh water after salt or chlorinated use
• Air dry away from direct sun and heat sources
• Store flat or gently folded to avoid creasing the neoprene

Who is this for? The Hevto Kids Wetsuit Shorty 2mm is suited for active children who enjoy swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding or beach play and need a versatile, easy-to-use suit that balances warmth and freedom of movement. It’s a practical choice for parents who want visible, comfortable protection without the bulk of a full-length wetsuit. Ideal for summer water sports, family beach trips, and swim lessons where quick changes and reliable coverage matter.
