OMGear Kids 3mm Neoprene Wetsuit for Boys, Black/Aqua, Size 12 — Long-Sleeve Back-Zip Thermal

OMGear Kids 3mm full neoprene wetsuit is a long-sleeve thermal one-piece designed to keep children warmer, safer, and more buoyant during cold-water play.

Built from a soft blend of 90% neoprene and 10% stretch nylon, this 3mm kids’ wetsuit combines flexible movement with insulating performance and UPF 50+ sun protection. The suit uses a thin layer of trapped water warmed by the child’s body to maintain temperature, while its durable exterior guards against scrapes, jellyfish stings, and abrasions commonly encountered in surf, snorkeling, or pool use. The back-zip design simplifies dressing and the range of sizes fits many body types — check the size chart before ordering to ensure a comfortable fit.

How does this wetsuit help keep my child warm in cold water?

The 3mm neoprene creates an insulating barrier that traps a thin layer of water next to the skin; the child’s body then warms that layer to reduce heat loss. The material’s stretch ensures movement isn’t restricted, so kids can swim and play more naturally while staying cozy.

• 3mm neoprene core for thermal insulation
• Stretch nylon face for flexibility and comfort
• Seals heat while permitting unrestricted movement

Is the suit easy for kids to put on and take off?

OMGear places the zipper on the back to reduce front bulk and keep the neckline snug; the long back zip offers a wide opening so parents and older children can dress quickly. Neoprene fits snug at first—this tightness improves insulation and buoyancy but becomes comfortable with wear.

• Full-length back zipper for easy entry and exit
• Snug initial fit increases warmth and buoyancy
• Sized from US 4 to US 14 for growing kids

What activities is this wetsuit suitable for?

This one-piece is built for a broad range of water sports and casual aquatic play. It’s appropriate for surfing, snorkeling, swimming lessons, scuba practice in warm training pools, kayaking, and family beach days where protection and warmth matter.

• Surfing, bodyboarding, and paddle sports
• Snorkeling and pool training in 60°F+ water
• Everyday splash play with added skin protection

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

Refer to OMGear’s size chart before purchasing; neoprene fits tighter than regular clothing, so choose a larger size for taller or stockier children. Rinse the suit in fresh water after use, hang to dry out of direct sun, and store flat or folded to keep seams and neoprene in good condition.

• Check the brand size chart for the best fit
• Rinse with fresh water and air-dry away from direct sunlight
• Order one size up for broader or taller children
