CRESSIKids Short Sleeve Swimsuit in Neoprene 1.5mm for Boys and Girls aged 2 to 10 year - Kids Swimsuit: designed in Italy

The Sizing of this is WA WAY OFF as other reviewers have stated. Having read the reviews 3 x a piece, I still ordered it and decided to order up for my two sons thinking I had cracked the code. Too bad I had not. All of the reviews (in my opinion) go into specifics about their Childs weight and height blah blah. I will tell you this and it is a simple sizing suggestion: Take your Childs age.. Got it? Multiply it by 2 (yes 2) and then order that size in the size chart. If your kid is very undersized for their age, maybe x 1.5 but no less than that.So now I will go into the specifics about my kids - both boys I ordered the short sleeve style for a 2 year old and 5 year old.My 5 year old has just moved out of 5T clothing this last month, so I got the XL (7/8). It was a sausage casing on him and he couldn't move. I am not kidding. The 7/8 is equal to a 4T.My 2 year old - I ordered the Medium and it was tight all over, however he is very skinny. So I would say the medium is equal to a typical size 24 months infants garment, but the length is like a normal 2T. I have a feeling the large would be too long on him, so I am not ordering another one. If you have a 2 year old, make sure they are still able to wear 24 months. If you have a 3-4 year old, order a large. A 4-5 year old - order the XL. 5 Year old that is out of 5T clothing, order the XXL (I have not seen the XXL, but know that the XL is a no go situation)The length may not be an issue after a washing, its possible it could shrink up and match the sizing around? I do not know, because we left the tags on and sent them back. hopefully someone that has washed this will leave a review if there is any shrinkage up in length.The quality of the suit is great, very well made. Honestly, I think it would be too warm on the beach in the hot summer (thick). I am giving 5 stars for it being high quality. They just need to rework their size chart or say "fitted or loose" and give suggestions on that. I am a realist and knew this suit would be fitted, but there is a difference between fitted and being a tight sausage situation and not being able to move.Do not go by the weights on the chart, they are wrong. Ignore the measurements for everything else too. Do the age thing I suggested and will get you into the ballpark of where you need to be.

Based on earlier reviews about the sizing being really off, I ordered the M, L & XL sizes of the short sleeve pink and long sleeve black/pink wet suits to try out for my daughter. (She is 4 yrs old, fits in 4T-5T clothing, 36 lb, 40" tall. Based on the sizing chart she would be squarely in the M category.) In the end, I found the sizing to be as stated on the chart. (Not sure if the chart has been fixed since reviews in previous years.)We ended up keeping the short sleeve M suit. The wrist openings on the long sleeve suit are really small. My daughter has small hands and it was a squeeze to pull her hands through, so I could imagine it being a bit like a sausage casing for bigger hands. Also, the sleeves on the long sleeve suit are not neoprene; they are the thinner rashguard/nylon material, so we just figured we could throw a rash guard under the short sleeve suit and it would be equivalent. We've washed the suit we kept once so far and no shrinking that I could see.

Exactly what I expected. Got this for my 22 month old to help him stay warm during swim lessons. It’s not a thick suit, and the shoulders/sleeves/part of the back are Lycra instead of neoprene. He was still kind of chilled in just this, but it’s thin and mixed material, so I expected that. We’re going to use it as an under layer beneath regular swimsuit and rash guard next time. For $22, this fits my expectations. If I wanted super warmth, I’d look for something more expensive, thicker neoprene (3mm or so if I recall from my scuba diving days).Fit notes: ordered small (1/2) for him. He’s 36” tall and 29lbs (very long and lean) but it was still long enough for him and not too baggy. Leg openings weren’t tight but not baggy either. The 3/4 at his size would have been so loose as to be pointless.Comments about smell (based on other reviews): it smells like neoprene. If you’ve ever smelled another wetsuit or a neoprene joint brace, it’s the same. Maybe the other colors have stronger smells (we got the black/green), but I’m normally sensitive to smells and found nothing out of the ordinary.

Fit is perfect all around but runs small so after this summer it would no longer fit him. My kiddo is a 6 yo, this size "X-Large 6-8" is on the small side torso length-wise, it's stretched to the max and the legs ride up giving him wedgies a lot. My kiddo is around 79%ile for height for his age. Neoprene part is thinner than we're used to with the O'Neill youth wetsuits/springsuits. and the arms and shoulder area on this Cressi wetsuit are not neoprene - keeping shoulders and upper arms warm are more important to me for my kiddo to not feel as cold as in a rashguard. Odor is minimal. Compared to the O'Neill springsuits this one falls short in comfort and fit but they are so much more expensive than this Cressi wetsuit. But for the price point, it's a decent wetsuit for swimming pools so it deserves 4 stars, consider ordering a size up if your child is 7 or 8 yo of course depending on physical stature of said child.

Ordered a small in the black/orange with short sleeves and fits my son perfectly. He is 13 months old and wears 24 month and 2T clothes, although 2T we usually have to roll up the pants 1-2 times. Slightly tricky to get on/off the shoulders if he isnt cooperating but so is my own wetsuit in the same style. The zipper all the way up under the neck seems to bother him a bit. Could be improved by adding one of those zipper pull covers that snap across to cover it at the top. Would also like to see a zipper in the back but only because my son isn't at the age where I want him undressing himself. For most 2ish year olds that this size would fit, the front zipper is easy to access and would help with independence.He currently take swim classes every 6 months. This suit will last him a bit now that he isn't growing as fast but there wasn't a ton of growing room and he will probably need the next size up by his 18 month class.
