Kids 5mm Winter Wetsuits

Our selection of kids winter wetsuits covers sizes for toddlers through to teens, with suits built by brands you can trust for watersports gear. These 5mm wetsuits often combine a thicker neoprene in the torso for core insulation with slightly flexible panels around the arms and legs, so kids can paddle, swim and move with confidence even when the air is crisp and the sea is bracing. That thickness is what helps trap body heat and reduce the chill that can cut sessions short, and it’s why 5mm has become the go-to for many families looking to extend their time in the water through autumn and winter

Some suits use a traditional back zip entry which makes them easier to pull on before heading out onto the beach. Others might have chest zip systems or additional seam placements that help reduce water flushing — that feeling of cold water rushing in and out of the suit — so your child’s core stays warmer for longer. Most of the wetsuits you’ll find here also include features like reinforced knee panels and flexible neoprene around the shoulders so movement feels natural when they’re paddling for a wave or splashing about with friends.

At Ocean Sports Board Riders we offer a broad range of junior 5mm winter wetsuits online and in our Brighton and Hove store. Our team are always happy to help you think about fit, size and the kinds of conditions your child will be in.
