Mares Manta Junior Shorty Wetsuit

If you're after a reliable entry-level wetsuit for young snorkellers and water sports fans, the Mares Manta Junior Shorty ticks all the right boxes. Built from 2.2mm double-lined neoprene, it's a comfortable, warm-enough choice for tropical and warm temperate waters while the shorty cut keeps movement completely unrestricted. No stiff full-suit faff, just free arms and legs ready for paddling, snorkelling, and splashing around. Getting kids in and out of wetsuits can be a whole ordeal, but the rear zip with a locking pull system makes that considerably less painful. It's easy enough for older kids to manage themselves, which is always a win. The coloured back panel isn't just for looks either — it boosts in-water visibility, which matters when you've got a small person in open water.
