Rip Curl Rainbow Tide L/S Surfsuit Girls

Washing

Rinse the wetsuit in cold, clean water immediately after use, especially after swimming in a pool or salt water. Machine-wash inside out at a maximum of 30 °C with a mild detergent, and avoid bleach and fabric softener, which can affect the stretch fabric.

Drying

Do not tumble dry. Let the suit air-dry in the shade, preferably flat or on a hanger, and keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators. Do not iron the suit.

Storage

Make sure the swimwear is completely dry before putting it away, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving a wet swimsuit folded in a bag or swim bag, as moisture and heat can break down the fibers.

Good to know

Apply sunscreen before putting on the suit, and avoid contact with oils and rough surfaces such as pool edges, which can snag the fabric. Although the material is chlorine-resistant, the fit and stretch last longest when you rinse the suit thoroughly after every time in the water.

What does UPF 50+ mean on this surfsuit?

UPF 50+ is the highest sun protection rating for textiles and means the fabric blocks most of the sun’s UV rays. The protection is built into the material and works all the time, even when the suit is wet.

What size should I choose for my child?

The suit comes in sizes 2, 4, 6 and 8, which correspond to approximately ages 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8. If your child is between sizes, it’s a good idea to measure their height and check the store’s size guide.

Can the suit be used in chlorinated pool water?

Yes, the fabric is chlorine-friendly and designed for frequent pool visits. Warpknit Lycra® Extra Life™ is designed to retain its shape, even after lots of dips in the pool.

How do I wash the swimsuit?

Rinse the suit in cold, clean water after each use, and machine wash it inside out at a maximum of 30 °C. Do not tumble dry or iron it - let it dry in the shade instead.

Why does the suit have a front zipper?

The front zip makes it quick and easy to take the suit on and off, even when it’s wet. This makes changing and bathroom breaks easier for both children and parents.

What is the surfsuit made of?

The fabric is Warpknit Lycra® Extra Life™ made from a blend of 82% polyester and 18% elastane, and the lining is polyester. The combination feels soft against the skin and stretches with your child’s movements.

Is it a long-sleeved swimsuit?

Yes, it’s a one-piece surfsuit with long sleeves, providing full coverage of the upper body and extra protection for the arms from the sun.

Where can the suit be used?

It’s made for the beach, pool and watersports, and also works well as a sun-protective layer for outdoor play and swimming. With its chlorine-friendly fabric, it’s ready for all summer activities in both fresh and salt water.
