What kind of water temperatures is this suit good for? We're taking a 4 and 6 year old to a beach with 60-65 degreee F water.

That suit should be perfect, my 5 year old wore his earlier this year in 60 degree and cooler water, he is in a short arm short leg suit now that the water is upper 60s I've surfed my entire life in RI and have had lots if suits, this is a great suit for the price

The lake or pool yes, the ocean might be too rough. We used ours at a lake. The smaller kids liked to flip in it (7 years and younger - but it has more to do with size than age).

I did mine in the summer, but I think I remember the instructions say above 55 or maybe between 55 and 85 degrees. I would not try below 55 in any case.

Yes, I use mine equally as much for diving and surfing. I am a tech diver and have used this suit in a variety of water conditions, ocean, bays, and river. I must have used this suit over 100 times last year between surfing and diving. It doesnt have any signs of breaking down on me at this point. It's great for the price. Hope this helpsbtw, I live in Florida and i wouldnt use this suit to dive in the winter. You may want something thicker depending on where you are.

The suit is not a wetsuit but a lycra suit to protect you from jelly fish stings etc. so won't keep you warm

I don't know what UV rating they claim, but the only body parts not covered are head, hands, and feet. I usually use a waterproof sunscreen stick like bullfrog to protect my kids' face (ears, nose, cheeks). I'm very pleased with these suits. They're a great value, and the warmth they provide make surfing fun. Being cold is miserable.

Just tested it for you. It heated cold water (with nothing else in it) to 165 degrees. Love my Cocomotion!

It depends. I got this for my daughter yet water managed to get in through the neck area yet she was still warmer then with a regular bathing suit.

I have used it several times in cold 46 degree water and warm water and I am very satisfied with it. Hope this helps.

Not a simple yes or no answer to this. It would depend on how good the child is in the water. If they have good natural buoyancy and are already able to kick their legs and move their arms, then this float may be ok. If you are relying on the float for complete buoyancy, then no. I have a 32 pound child and she still needs to work her arms and legs to keep the right way with this float on. Sorry I can't be more precise.

It's pretty warm without being too hot. She slept in it all summer with a onesie on. As it's gotten cooler out, we actually dress our little girl in normal PJ's with feet. She doesn't get overheated. She typically sleeps 10 hours at night now and takes a two hour nap during the day. We have two suits now... one for home and one for daycare. It's the best $40 we've spent so far on baby stuff! Definitely worth a shot!

William, I think a tradional surf or diving wetsuit would be too hot for out-of-water sport activities. They are incredible insulators, so I would be concerned about overheating or dehydration. I wear my suit half way (to the waist) when I goto the beach. The drive is only 15 minutes, but in that short time of inactivity I'm starting to get very warm. Also, there is the chafing factor. Tradional surf wetsuits will chaf surfers in high friction areas such as the armpits and neck. I can only imagine the chafing you'd get if you ran in one! If you still wish to wear a wetsuit in your workouts, my recommendation would be to look at the lighter weight wetsuits that triathletes use.

We used it at Yellowstone in August. 70-78 degree weather. It made the water moderately warm. Never got "hot". We were tent camping so it was awesome.

I don't think the jacket will overheat you, but 85 degrees is the standard pool temp. I would be more concerned about the drag of water on your arms. I really enjoy mine, but I walk 90 minutes in the pool every morning. Not swimming laps.

Amazon sent me an email to answer this and I can't but I can say that the wetsuit is thick enough to work. We went to lake Michigan this summer and the water was very cold (I never went in) but my incredibly wussy, wimpy daughter did and was warm enough in it! :)

I would say 40-45 max on the medium. Some kids are more buoyant than others - at least it seems they are - If it seems like it's struggling to keep the child afloat then go to large.

I bought this jacket about two years ago and it works great. Last year my son jumped off the dock in water over his head. The back part for his head worked perfect keeping his head above water. He was only in the water for a couple of seconds when I used the handle to pull him to safety. To answer your question this jacket fits my son really well but he is four now. At three years old it was a little big on him but still worked great. It is too large for a 11 month old unless they make a smaller version.
