Why Our Kids Stinger Suits Are Backed by Science and Built for Adventure

Why Our Kids Stinger Suits Are Backed by Science and Built for Adventure

Queensland kids live in the water. Beach days, boat days, island days. But during stinger season we also share the ocean with Irukandji and box jellyfish, which is why choosing the right protection matters.

A well known study by Gershwin and Dabinett compared different fabrics to see what actually blocks jellyfish stings. Their results match perfectly with the way we designed our kids stinger suits.

Here is what the research found and why our suits are the smartest choice for salty little explorers.

A Tight Weave Is Everything

The study showed that the smaller the weave, the stronger the barrier.
Our full length kids stinger suits use a very tight weave fabric that helps reduce tentacle penetration and gives real jellyfish protection for North Queensland waters.

Smooth Fabric Means Less Tentacle Cling

Rough fabric holds on to jellyfish like Velcro.
Smooth fabric lets them slide straight off.
Our suits have a smooth surface so there is less sticking, less clinging and less risk during stinger season.

One Piece Design for Better Coverage

Two piece outfits shift around when kids run, dive or jump off the boat.
A one piece stinger suit stays in place and keeps skin covered from neck to wrist to ankle. Exactly what the research recommends.

Perfect for Boat Days and Beach Days

Pairing a full length stinger suit with an inflatable personal stinger net gives families a simple, powerful safety combo.
Boat swims. Shallow reef. Island shorelines. They are ready for it all.

The Explorer Advantage

Kids want to roam, splash, dive and explore. Our suits keep them protected without slowing them down. Tight weave. Smooth surface. One piece. Full coverage. Science backed and North Queensland tested.

If your child loves the ocean, a proper kids stinger suit is one of the easiest ways to give them freedom and confidence all season.
