2mm Kids Shorty Wetsuit for Long Hours in the Water
The O'Neill Reactor 2 2mm is a kids shorty wetsuit for ages 4 to 12 that keeps children in the water longer, even when it is not quite warm yet. It has short sleeves, short legs and a back zip.
O'Neill recommends 2mm kids wetsuits for water of 18 to 20 °C: the sea in spring, the cooler Atlantic around the Canary Islands or a lake on a windy day.
There are no seams under the arms, so nothing rubs while swimming or paddling. For kids who refuse to get out even with purple lips, it means the fun does not have to stop.
Who Is the O'Neill Reactor 2 Kids Wetsuit For?
This 2mm kids spring wetsuit is made for children who spend hours in the water and get cold quickly.
We recommend it for:
- kids swimming in the sea in spring or in cooler lakes
- family holidays on the Atlantic, where the ocean is colder than the Mediterranean
- young SUP paddlers, surfers and kayakers who fall in often
- children who get cold after long snorkelling sessions in summer
- parents who want a wetsuit their child can zip up alone
O'Neill Reactor 2 Kids Wetsuit Benefits
Longer in the water, less cold
2mm neoprene keeps body heat close, so children stay warm much longer.
No chafing under the arms
No underarm seams means nothing rubs during swimming, paddling or play.
Easy on, easy off
The long back zip opens wide, so the suit does not have to be pulled over the shoulders like a chest zip.
Kids can zip it themselves
A long pull cord lets children close the zip alone, and a Velcro tab covers it and holds it in place.
Less chill in the wind
The chest panel is windproof Smoothskin neoprene, so kids feel less cold standing on a SUP or out of the water.
What Water Temperature Is a 2mm Kids Wetsuit For?
O'Neill recommends 2mm kids wetsuits and shorties for water between 18 and 20 °C. For colder water (12–17 °C) it recommends a 3/2mm full wetsuit, which you will find among our kids wetsuits.
Material and Technology
The O'Neill Reactor 2 is made from UltraFlex, O'Neill's soft, stretchy neoprene that follows every movement and makes the suit easier to put on.
Flatlock seams are flat and breathable, made for warm to mild water. Smoothskin on the chest has no fabric lining, so water runs off quickly and wind does not cool the body.

Material and Care
Rinse the wetsuit in fresh water after the sea or pool and dry it in the shade so it stays soft and stretchy.
A kids wetsuit should fit snugly without restricting movement. Find the right size in the size chart, opened with the button on the product page.
Why Choose O'Neill?
In 1952 Jack O'Neill opened a surf shop in San Francisco and, according to the brand, made the first wetsuit that same year. O'Neill has been developing wetsuits for more than 70 years.
The Reactor 2 series is O'Neill's value line, combining stretchy UltraFlex with durable seams. A smart choice for kids who outgrow their wetsuit quickly.
