Aropec Youth 2.5mm Pink Spring Suit is an all-purpose springy designed with kids in mind, that is to say, they’re built tough. The combination of super stretch neoprene, smooth-skin panels and flatlock seams ticks all the important boxes - the result is a durable wetsuit with enough flexibility for swimming and surfing. The smooth-skin coated torso panel is the best defence against wind chill and by placing it around their torso/organs it works to maintain core body temperatures. Smooth-skin is a rubbery coat that can’t hold water (hydrophobic) which means it dries in a flash, wind only speeds up the drying process!
The big tick on durability comes from the flatlock seams which are the most durable seam in . Flatlock stitching creates pin-holes in the neoprene itself which allows water and air to move through, at a very slow rate. This adds versatility because the breathable seam allows them to play in the surf as well as the sand, without overheating. If you’re looking for a similar suit designed for cold-water conditions we recommend looking at the thermally-lined and sealed-seam .
The Aropec Youth 2.5mm Pink Spring Suit is one of our favourite in that it’s ready for anything, be it surfing, swimming or diving. All of this versatility comes at a price but the glory results from the low cost and high value-for-money.
