GOLD + EDITOR'S CHOICE
Best Kids Apparel 2025

$165.00

Avaly wetsuits utilise Yulex, PEFC/FSC-certified plant-based rubber from hevea trees for optimal performance. They focus on small-batch production to minimise waste and maintain ethical manufacturing.

Made from 90% Yulex® natural rubber, 10% recycled nylon.
Avaly commits to ethical practices through various initiatives, including fair manufacturing that ensures all production staff receive above award wages, health or social insurance and have a safe work environment. The brand employs small-batch production to minimise waste and align with customer demand, enhancing sustainability and ethical operations. Additionally, they engage in continuous evaluation of their practices to uphold sustainability, fair labour and responsible sourcing in all decision-making processes.
Avaly designs durable products to minimise waste and promote environmental stewardship. Their wetsuits are made from Yulex, a neoprene-free, plant-based material that is PEFC and FSC-certified for sustainability. The brand emphasises continuous improvement in its sustainability practices and operates without plastic in products, packaging, or shipping. Material offcuts are repurposed in Indonesia as diving toys for swim education. The brand offers free repairs for wetsuits and swimsuits to limit the need for new purchases while supporting eco-friendly practices.
Avaly donates 1% of profits to the Ocean Cleanup Project to combat plastic pollution, repurposes wetsuit material offcuts into diving toys for children in Indonesia and contributes wetsuits to charities such as Bowel Cancer Awareness and MND Awareness. The brand emphasises fair employment practices by partnering with manufacturers that provide fair wages and safe working conditions while fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment. Furthermore, they also incorporate diversity into marketing campaigns and engage with the local Australian community to support their economic and social well-being.

Product Reviews by Experts


We love this brand! The standout feature is how incredibly soft and flexible it feels, especially compared to traditional neoprene suits. It’s easy to get on and off (a huge win with wriggly toddlers) and the fit is snug without being restrictive. As a parent, it’s comforting to know that what they’re wearing is kinder to their skin and the planet. I’m genuinely impressed by Avaly’s commitment to sustainability throughout the entire production process. From their use of FSC-certified Yulex natural rubber to their focus on safe, non-toxic dyes and recycled materials, it’s clear that thoughtful choices are at the core of everything they do.


The quality of this was extremely impressive, its very thick wetsuit material and you can tell the craftsmanship is of a very high quality. As its winter we haven’t tested it in the water but my daughter tried it on and is very excited to test it out when summer rolls around. I love the fact the brand ensures all workers are paid above award wages, this is an important factor to show value in their team. I was equally impressed by the fact the brand is plastic free- this is not easy to do across all aspects of the business.


I love the sweet print of this wetsuit. It’s easy to get on and off and was fast drying. My little one also said he didn’t feel cold. I am impressed that the business offers free repairs and also sends off cuts to be repurposed. I also love that they support the Ocean Cleanup Project!
