A neoprene children's shirt is intended for warmth under your wetsuit or if your Lycra is just too cold. Furthermore, it is made to block UV radiation to prevent burning of the skin. The combination of salt water and the reflection of the sun on the water greatly increases the risk of sunburn. In addition, there are many wave surfers who opt for a lycra to reduce the friction between the chest and the board.

Many people assume that you can wear a lycra under your wetsuit for a little extra warmth. This is unfortunately not the case. When you wear a lycra under a wetsuit you will cool down faster. Do you want a little extra warmth? Then look at our neoprene t-shirts for children.

Are you not sure whether you need a lycra or a neoprene shirt for the young surfer? When purchasing a lycra or neoprene shirt for children, you should pay attention to several things. Below we discuss the fit, size, sleeves and color.

The fit of a lycra kids t shirt

The fit of a lycra or neoprene shirt is very important. If the t-shirt does not fit well on your body, you may experience a less comfortable session on the water. You have the choice between a slim- or loose-fit children's t-shirt. This choice is individual. We therefore always recommend trying on the shirt. This can of course be done in our surf shop or carefully at home.

The size of a neoprene children's tee

The size of a children's lycra or neoprene t-shirt is also very important to take into account. A shirt that is too big or too small can have a big impact on your performance on the water. With a neoprene shirt for children, it is important that the shirt fits well to the body, otherwise you will lose your heat quickly.

Sleeves of a children's rashguard

The choice for a neoprene or lycra children's shirt can depend on the sleeves. Do you go out on the water in warmer weather? Then opt for the short sleeves. If you're going out on the water in colder weather, opt for the long sleeves. Both long and short sleeve neoprene shirts can be worn under your wetsuit for extra warmth.

The color of a neoprene or lycra children's t-shirt

The color of a lycra or neoprene t-shirt can play a big role in choosing a t-shirt. For parents and carers who like to keep a close eye on their child, we recommend going for a bright color so that you can more easily find your child among all water sports enthusiasts.
