WHO IS THIS FOR?

The Youth Reactor-2 Springsuit is for the kid who gets "the shivers" after twenty minutes of swimming, the young wakesurfer learning to drop the rope, or the beach explorer in Vernon. If you want a durable "shorty" wetsuit that handles the wear and tear of childhood while keeping them toasty, this is it.

Youth Reactor-2 2mm – More Fun, Less Shivering

The Youth Reactor-2 is built with the same high-quality materials as O'Neill's adult suits but tailored specifically for a kid’s shape. The 2mm thickness provides a significant thermal boost over a standard swimsuit, cutting the chill of the afternoon breeze on Okanagan Lake. It features UltraFlex Neoprene in the sleeves and shoulders, so it won’t feel stiff or restrictive when they are paddling or climbing back onto the swim platform.

For parents, the best part of the Reactor-2 is the Smoothskin Wind-Shield. These panels on the chest and back block the wind while the boat is moving, preventing that "instant chill" that often sends kids reaching for a towel. It’s easy to get on and off thanks to the back-zip design, making it a "no-fuss" piece of gear for every Kal Lake adventure.

Pro-Shop Specs:

• Youth-Specific Fit: Tailored for smaller bodies to ensure a snug, warm seal without bunching.

• UltraFlex Neoprene: Soft, stretchy neoprene in the high-movement zones for a comfortable, "barely-there" feel.

• 2mm Core Insulation: The perfect thickness for BC lake summers, providing warmth without overheating.

• Smoothskin Wind-Shield: Blocks the wind and prevents evaporative cooling on the chest and back.

• Back Zip System: Features a heavy-duty zipper with a long pull tab, making it easier for kids to zip themselves up.

• Flatlock Stitched: Breathable, durable seams that lie flat against the skin to prevent "wetsuit rash."

⚡ THE ATTRIDGE PRO TIP: THE "ONE MORE SET" SECRET

Why do we suggest a springsuit for every kid in the Okanagan?

• Warmth = Confidence: A warm kid is a confident kid. They’ll try more tricks and stay behind the boat longer when they aren't fighting the cold.

• Sun Protection: The Reactor-2 provides 50+ UPF protection. It’s the easiest way to protect their back and shoulders from the high-altitude Vernon sun without constantly reapplying sunscreen.

• Durability: This suit is built to last. It’s tough enough to handle being dragged across the sand, sitting on the boat deck, and being handed down to a younger sibling next season.
