Grow Down
Grow Down is another of the ways we are making Fants wetsuits genuinely sustainable - both for the planet and for your wallet.
Kids grow quickly, so instead of treating every wetsuit as a one-season purchase, Grow Down makes it part of a circular system. When your child outgrows their FANTS wetsuit, you can return it for 30% off the next size up. We refurbish the returned wetsuits and give them a second life in our Recycled collection, keeping them in use and out of landfill.
By the time a family moves through several sizes - let’s say from a Size 6 to a Size 12 - the savings accumulate to effectively mean you’ll pay almost nothing for your final wetsuit. Grow Down rewards commitment, reduces waste and helps more kids stay comfortable and protected in the water.
It’s simple: as they grow up, your cost grows down.
Here's how it works:
1. Email hello@fants.com.au and let us know you'd like to recycle your old Fants wetsuit and we'll give you an address to post it to.
2. Once we receive the wetsuit we'll assess its condition. If it is functional and not in need of repair then we'll send you a promo code that you can use at checkout to receive 30% off a new Fants wettie. If your wetsuit is damaged or extremely well worn, that % discount may lower to 10% or 20% off a new wettie.
THE FINE PRINT 👇🏽
At the moment we are unable to offer reuse discounts to customers outside Australia. With international postage the economics don't work.
How do we determine the discount?
A wetsuit with no rips or major damage will get you a top end 30% discount while a wettie with minor knee, elbow or butt scuffs will likely get you a 20% discount. Wetties with rips from rocks and the like could receive a 15% discount. If the wetsuit looks like it has been put through a blender then we'll probably give you a 10% discount just for going so hard.
If you'd like a clearer idea of the discount amount then send detailed pics of the damaged areas as well as front and back full wetsuit pics to the email address above and we'll let you know.
