A kids shorty wetsuit is a type of wetsuit that features short legs, offering a lightweight and flexible option for warmer water conditions. Typically made from 2mm to 3mm thick neoprene, shorty wetsuits provide some thermal protection while allowing for maximum mobility and comfort. These wetsuits are ideal for activities like surfing, paddleboarding, and snorkeling in warmer waters, usually ranging from 70°F to 85°F (21°C to 29°C). The shorty design ensures freedom of movement in the arms and legs, making it perfect for active water sports where flexibility is key. Additionally, shorty wetsuits are often equipped with flatlock seams to reduce chafing, and a snug fit to keep water from flushing in. A great option for those looking for a balance of warmth and comfort in moderate temperatures!
