Care & Maintenance
- Rinse after every session – kids rarely remember to do this themselves.
- Hang to dry in the shade; avoid leaving in a car where heat builds up.
- Check the fit regularly – junior wetsuits become too small fast as kids grow.
- Inspect seams before each use; a small tear leads to water ingress and cold kids.

I would rate the Mares Rover slightly lower due to its lengthy drying time. But it is very effective!

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Mares Rover 7mm Overall Wetsuit with Hood (Junior). We’re glad to hear that it performed well during your diving expedition. The wetsuit is indeed designed to be waterproof, and it’s great that you didn’t experience any water seepage. However, to confirm the wetsuit’s waterproofing, please note that it’s made with a combination of materials, including neoprene and a durable nylon lining, which provides a barrier against water infiltration. Additionally, the wetsuit is designed with a hood to further prevent water entry. We appreciate your feedback and would be happy to answer any further questions you may have!
