Does anyone know where I can obtain a Flotation suit for a skinny 7 year old nephew? :D Hes mad to come fishing but his mam is rather nervous about pneumonia and falling in.....

I've never seen one for kids (at least not one specifically called a flotation suit). I looked a while back.

Perhaps you could consider getting him a kids auto-inflate life jacket to put on over a regular rain coat? He could also use it on the boat in better weather. Seems more flexible to me.

The vest at the bottom of this page looks about right (and they ship to Ireland).

Half way down the page...

I know they're out of stock, but you might be able to source another supplier.

Looks a bit pricey for a kids size :shock: . I hope he's your favourite nephew?

I'm sure he must be if he wants to look like you.. :)

Thanks Lads, Ill give Fladen a try..... I spotted the out of stocks in Veals alright, a bit pricey for a kids version, I can pick up adults cheaper than that.
