A real dissappointment
1 Star
A real dissappointment
I usually do not leave reviews but this one was truly necessary. I was really disappointed when the wetsuit arrived. The color looked nothing like the picture on the website. The sleeves and collar were to be the same blue as the zipper. Mine looked like it was sun bleached and the coating on the zipper was flaked off. How can you sell someone something like this. Your goods MUST be of merchantable quality.

We have had this wetsuit for over a year now. It is durable and easy to clean. My son says he prefers this to a swim shirt and shorts because this is more comfortable. The suit was a tiny bit loose when we bought it, but that was fine with him, and it didn't interfere with swimming. Now it fits snugly and is the perfect size. After swim class we just rinse it out in the locker room and hang it somewhere to dry when we get home. After a day at the beach, I usually machine wash it, inside out with the zipper up, in a bag meant for delicates. Then I air dry for a few hours. No little pills showing up anywhere. 2 notes: (1) The sleeves, collar, and shoulders of the suit are not neoprene, but that doesn't bother my son since it keeps him from getting too hot when he wears the suit to the beach. (2) If you plan on taking this suit on a tropical vacation, then you should probably take another suit as well since it takes a while for the neoprene to dry in humid places. Coolibar makes a one piece suit that is non-neoprene, and we alternate between that one and this one when we are on vacation.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best suit we ever purchased!!! Eliminate harmful sunburns and UV rays.
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2016

My family is going on a vacation to Florida and I needed a swim suit that would accompany my child's sun sensitivity. I needed something that covered part of his legs as well as his shoulders, back, stomach and partial arms. I searched the internet five or six times trying to view online stores that sold such a swim outfit. I was becoming discouraged because I could not find exactly what I was seeking. Finally, I figured I would give Amazon a try and BOOM....(there it was), the exact suit I was searching for. My son waited patiently for his new suit to arrive. It was delivered within two days. (Nice shipping Amazon seller)!!! Once it arrived, he couldn't wait to try it on. Once again, we were very pleased. It fit like a glove. The size was perfectly described. The suit was comfortable and did not ride up my sons little booty. He loved the mixture of colors and the zipper is strong and sturdy. The length of the suit and the sleeves was perfect for out trip to Florida. This suit will prevent his skin from getting burnt, whereas, we can enjoy our vacation rather than spending it in a hospital. His sun disease prevents him from enjoying the gorgeous weather that Florida has to offer. This suit has saved the day, week and month. Thank you Amazon!!! You Rock!! This buy was worth about 500 times what I paid for it in order to protect my son from the sun. Tuga Boys Thermal Sunsuit (UPF 50+), Royal, 6 yrs

4.0 out of 5 stars size 11/12 is close call but OK for tall but thin 10 yr old boys
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2017
Verified Purchase
I bought 2 of these for 10 year old (fraternal, i.e., non-identical) twin boys. Based on advice in the comments, I got larges (11/12). On the thinner twin, it fits perfectly height-wise, with a fair amount of looseness around his legs. On his brother, though, it is a little strained height-wise, which I can see because the collar isn't coming up as high to his neck, although he too has some (but less) looseness around his legs. The looseness is not a big deal, except that upon repeated jumping into the pool, one leg tends to get pushed up. On the one hand, due to height, I suspect they can't wear them again next summer. However, I'm glad I didn't get a larger size due to the extra room around their legs. However, I think being both above-average height and below-average weight is what created this situation, and at any rate, I expect the suits to be fine this summer (knock on wood).

About 3 weeks ago, twin 1 was 56-7/8" tall and 69 lbs., and twin 2 was 56-5/8" tall and 77.4 lbs. fyi, their height put them at the 75th percentile for 10 year old boys, and both of their BMIs are below average, with twin 1 being only a couple of percentiles up from really being TOO thin. Hope this helps someone!

Quality seems fine (not sure it was a gift) but disappointed about the size. They said it is tight, lengthwise. Size 14 should have provided plenty of room for an average size 10 year old.

Size: Large / 11-12 YearsColor: RoyalVerified Purchase
My son is about 54 inches and 63 pounds and just turned 9. The 9/10 fit him like a glove, so I got the 11/12 to give him a little room. He absolutely loves this wetsuit, and so do I! We just got back from the beach where he played in breaking waves for hours each day for 3 days, and this thing still looks brand new. It protected him from getting so beat up and scratched up and from the sun as well. It also kept him warmer on the one day that we had that was a little cool until later in the day. This is definitely worth your money for use in the ocean!

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2015
Size: 6 YearsColor: RoyalVerified Purchase
I like the front zip so my son doesnt need help putting it on. Also, the neck and sleeves allow freedom of movement - the neckline doesn't choke him or rub the way some wet suits do because the neck and sleeves are like swimsuit or rash guard material. The only down side to the sleeves is that they don't provide as much warmth on the arms since they are not the same fabric as the body, but that's the trade off for the comfort and easy on - off design. My son loved it so much I bought another larger one when he grew out of it. Really saved the day on our Disney cruise since the Atlantic waters are still 70 degrees at Castaway Cay during spring break. I don't think he would have wanted to swim without the extra warmth. My son is about 64 lbs, 51 inches tall and the medium 9/10 fits perfectly. (He general wears a youth size 8/10). SPF 50, but I wish they had a long sleeve version too.

I actually got this for my daughter. I personally wouldn't put my son in this. It looks somewhat femanine, but VERY cute. The "sunsuit" is really nice. Very high quality especially for the price. I actually consider this a wetsuit, not a sunsuit. She's currently 7 month old, but somewhat small for her age. It is pretty large on her right now. I'm hoping she grows into it by the end of this summer. After purchasing this for my daughter, I went and bought one for my 3 year old to use also. Less sun screen and a warm child on those cold summer days when they insist on swimming is the main reason I purchased this. I HIGHLY recommend it.
