Tesco direct have an end of season sale, they are clearing their wetsuits:

Its worth buying a larger size for your children to grow in to.

    I would respectfully disagree (as a Surfer) if they are planning on doing any watersports that involve paddling or rapid arm movements - wetsuits need to be as good a fit as possible to be any use, especially around the armpits to avoid chafing.

    Sainsbury's have got good !!!!!!! Bite" brand wetsuits down from £38 to £25, at least in the Cardiff/Newport rd. store, I would hope this is nationwide where they stock them - worth a phone call...

  • I agree, buy the right size, any bigger and you get cold water running down your neck!!!
    Another tip, unless you know what you are doing don't buy wetsuits froom supermarkets or online, go somewhere you can try them on and have an expert size one for you!

    Yes, you definitely have to try them on, it's like shoes....You can try them on at the Sainsbury's I saw them at, the person I was with did and then bought one!
