Kids: Before the Attitude Arrives
Beach clothing for the smallest members of the lineup. Tees, shorts and layers cut for kids who are still learning where the waves come from, in the same organic cotton and recycled fabrics as the grown up range.
Wetsuits for this age group live in kids wetsuits. Everything else is here.
How to Choose Kids Beach Gear
Sun and salt are the two enemies, in that order. A long sleeve tee does more for a small kid on a European summer beach than sunscreen reapplied hopefully every two hours, and quick dry fabric matters more than it does for adults because kids get wet at random intervals all day. Size up on apparel if you like. Size correctly on wetsuits, always.
What Is in the Range
Tees, shorts and light layers in soft organic cotton, cut roomy enough for actual play. Prints from the same artists as the adult line, because kids notice when gear is designed down to them. Sizes run below the boys range, which picks up from around age 8.
Why Vissla
Children outgrow everything, so the honest goal is gear good enough to pass to the next kid. Durable fabrics, real stitching, colours that survive a summer of chlorine and salt. Cheap kids clothing is the most wasteful thing in the industry and we would rather not add to it.
Get them in the water early. The gear is the easy part.
