Zoggs Boy's Cottesloe Mid Jammer
Product description
What it is
The Zoggs Boy's Cottesloe Mid Jammer is a knee-length swimming jammer designed for young swimmers who want a modest, practical suit with a focus on durability and comfort. It features a 32cm leg length for added flexibility in the water and a triangle front lining to boost modesty during lanes or open-water sessions.
Key features
This jammer uses Ecolast+ fabric, a material made from recycled plastic bottles and consumer waste, aligning with a more sustainable approach to swimwear. It’s 100% chlorine-proof and carries a lifetime guarantee, which is reassuring for families who swim regularly or attend clubs. The suit is machine washable and provides UPF 50+ sun protection, making it suitable for outdoor pool days and sunny training sessions.
Who it’s for
Ideal for school team practices, club swimming, and recreational swimmers who want a durable, low-maintenance option. The drawstring offers a customisable fit, and the modest front lining helps young swimmers feel comfortable during long sessions. If you prioritise sustainability without compromising on performance, this could be a sensible choice.
How it performs
On the surface, it offers the basics you’d expect from a youth jammer: comfortable coverage, easy care, and resistance to chlorine. The 32cm leg length aims to balance freedom of movement with secure fit. The UPF 50+ rating helps reduce sun exposure when training outdoors. If you’re after a suit that stays intact for longer—even with frequent wash cycles—it stands up to repeated use, thanks to chlorine-proof fabric.
Care & maintenance
Machine washable on a standard cycle and air-dry preferred to extend longevity. Avoid high heat when drying to preserve the fabric’s properties. Routine care is straightforward, which helps busy parents keep training gear in check without fuss.
Buying considerations
If you value a sustainable fabric option and want a long-lasting, low-maintenance jammer, this product ticks many boxes. However, there’s not much detail on size ranges or detailed performance metrics beyond the basics, so it may be worth checking the fit with your child’s measurements before purchasing. Also, while the lifetime guarantee is attractive, it’s prudent to confirm exactly what it covers and under what conditions.
Practical use case
Imagine a mid-week training session at the local pool, with the sun streaming in. The Cottesloe Mid Jammer slips on easily, keeps modesty with its front lining, and remains comfortable through drills thanks to the flexible 32cm leg. After a few laps, a quick rinse and a machine wash, and you’re ready for the next session.
