Sharkskin T2 High Performance Long Sleeve Top (Women's)

Women who get cold before everyone else on the dive boat will find a lot to like in the Sharkskin T2 High Performance Long Sleeve Top. It puts the warmest T2 Titanium fabric over the torso, where staying warm matters most, and pairs it with flexible Thermal Flex sleeves so swimming and reaching for gear never feel restricted.

What Makes the Fabric Different

Sharkskin's T2 Chillproof takes the original 3-layer Chillproof material and adds titanium far infrared (FIR) technology. Instead of adding bulk, it reflects your own body heat back and holds it in. Sharkskin says the FIR also supports circulation and recovery, and the fabric has natural anti-microbial protection.

On the arms and shoulders, Thermal Flex keeps things light and stretchy:

• Warmth without bulk, with FIR-assisted thermoregulation
• Hydro-Lock DWR for lower drag in the water
• UPF50+ protection and extended neck coverage for long surface intervals
• Easy stretch entry and exit
• A zero-chafe feel against the skin

Women's Fit and Sizing

This is a women's-specific cut offered in US0 through US16. The fit sits close like other compression wear, so the full-length front zip is a real help, since you never have to wrestle a wet top over your head. Unzip it on the boat to vent between dives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the women's T2 High Performance top have a full front zip?

The full-length zip makes the top easy to put on and take off, even when it is wet. It also lets you vent quickly during high-output sessions and adjust to changing conditions.

Is the T2 High Performance top anti-microbial?

Yes, Sharkskin says the titanium-based FIR technology in the T2 core provides natural anti-microbial protection.

Will the extra warmth make the top bulky?

No, the added warmth comes from the FIR technology in the T2 fabric rather than extra thickness, and the Thermal Flex arms are designed to give warmth without bulk.
