Sharkskin Chillproof Long Sleeve with Hood (Women's)
For snorkeling and diving in chilly water, or a windy day on the boat, the women's Sharkskin Chillproof Long Sleeve with Hood covers you from the top of your head down to your wrists in one piece. Sharkskin made it for extreme conditions, and it is warm enough to wear by itself. You can also layer it beneath a wetsuit when you need more warmth on a cold dive.
How the Chillproof Hooded Top Keeps You Warm
The fabric is Chillproof, a windchill proof composite with three layers that Sharkskin rates at the thermal properties of 2.5 to 3mm neoprene. Unlike neoprene, it has four-way stretch and a hollow fiber fleece lining that wicks moisture away from your skin.
- The nylon/spandex outer face resists abrasion.
- A DWR finish helps water bead up and run off.
- It is neutrally buoyant, so your weight setup does not change.
- The fabric carries a UPF50+ rating for sun protection.
- It resists itch and odor, which makes wearing it for hours comfortable.
Women's Fit and Sizing
Sizing runs US0 through US16 in the women's cut, which is shaped separately from the men's version of the same hooded top. The stretch fabric hugs the body so it can sit under a wetsuit without bunching.
