Sharkskin Chillproof Short Sleeve Chest Zip (Women's)

Divers heading to tropical water often want a little extra warmth on the core without covering their arms, and the women's Sharkskin Chillproof Short Sleeve Chest Zip handles that well. It works on its own or as an extra layer beneath a wetsuit. Paddlers like it for a similar reason, since it keeps the torso warm while leaving the arms free to stroke.

Temperature Control With the Chest Zip

The chest zip lets you adjust as you go. Zip it up to trap warmth on a cool morning boat ride, and pull it down when you start to heat up. The high neck shields you from sun and water spray.

The Chillproof fabric is an aquatic specific, windchill proof composite with three layers. It blocks wind and spray and wicks moisture away from your body.

• Soft fleece inner liner for warmth and comfort
• Anti-microbial, with odor and itch resistance
• Neutrally buoyant
• Short sleeves for unrestricted arm movement

Women's Fit and Sizing

This top comes in women's sizes US0 to US16. The short sleeve cut keeps your core covered without restricting your shoulders, which matters when you are paddling hard or swimming against a current.
