Hi,
I just wondered if somebody has experience with wetsuits for kids or maybe you even know where to get them. I don't mean the 3mm ones, but one which is suitable for snorkeling here in Scotland. I guess 7mm is a minimum. But I can't find them even on the innerweb.
My lad is 7years old and about 140cm tall (don't know in imperical:p )
Any comments welcome,
Lars

Edinburgh Dive Center had some last time I was in, and I'm sure FYM in Grangemouth some too.

Yep, I looked at ebay but couldn't find anything. The ewetsuit site looks promising tho.

Namron always made my kids stuff, from 4 year old onwards. I tended to use 5mm longjohns plus 5mm jacket after about 8., 3mm before.
