Sharkskin Mens Chillproof 2025 Long Sleeve Hooded Top

Great as a super warm standalone garment and also suitable for under a wetsuit. The long sleeve design with an inbuilt hood provides the best protection for extreme conditions on or under the water. About Chillproof Chillproof is an aquatic specific windchill proof, 3-layer composite material with the thermal properties of a 2.5 to 3mm neoprene wetsuit but without many of the drawbacks of traditional wetsuits. Chillproof can be worn under a wetsuit for extra warmth and enhanced wind protection. Chillproof can also be worn by itself as the perfect watersports thermal wear or layered with other Sharkskin garments for extra warmth and insulation. It is ideal for scuba diving and snorkelling, jet skiing, paddle watersports, board watersports, wind watersports, sailing and many other watersports. Chillproof Features Nylon/Spandex outer layer for superior durability and abrasion resistance. 100% windproof and 10K+ breathable membrane to stop windchill to keep you warm yet regulate body temperature to avoid overheating. Hollow fibre 'next to skin' fleece for warmth, comfort and superior moisture wicking properties. Durable water repellent (DWR) finish to provide a protective shell that ‘sheds’ water. 4-way stretch ensures garments are non-restrictive allowing a full range of movement and are easy to get on and off. Non-chaffing, itch and odour resistant properties mean that garments can be worn for long periods of time. Durable seam thread to resist deterioration in saltwater so the garment will last longer. Neutrally buoyant so there is no need to add extra weight when diving. UPF50+ for sun protection.

Provided that you measure your body accurately then you will get the very best estimate for size. VIDEO GUIDE TO HELP YOU WITH THE BEST FIT Under a wetsuit - if you are wearing Sharkskin™ underneath a wetsuit then you will need to make sure your Sharkskin™ garment is ‘fitted’ so that it is firm on your body and does not bunch underneath your wetsuit. In and out of the water - if you are wearing Sharkskin™ by itself (not under a wetsuit) and are fully submerged or ‘in and out’ of the water (EG – ‘in and underwater’ watersports like SCUBA diving and snorkelling, and also general watersports where you are ‘in and out’ of the water like surfing, foiling, wake boarding, kiteboarding, windsurfing, performance sailing, etc) then it is also best to make sure your Sharkskin™ garment is more ‘fitted’ than loose. Out of the water - if you are wearing Sharkskin™ as a standalone garment out of the water 100% of the time (EG – SUP boarding, surfski paddling, recreational kayaking, snow skiing, sailing, as thermal wear for mountain biking and other outdoor activities, etc) then you may be more comfortable with a slightly looser fit to allow for better torso rotation and flexibility. Sharkskin Rapid Dry rash shirts - the exception to wearing Sharkskin™ ‘fitted’ is the Rapid Dry range. Rapid Dry is designed to be worn slightly loose like your favorite T shirt. FIT TIPS – To ensure a looser fit then size up or choose the higher end of the sizing scale when comparing your body measurements to the size chart. To ensure a tighter / firmer fit then do the opposite. When putting Chillproof or T2 Chillproof garments on do the zipper up at the narrowest part of your waist and then pull the top down towards your hips. Once pulled down then continue to pull the zipper up, (per the video demonstration). You may need a different size top and bottom - so please measure both top and bottom measurements rather than choosing the same size automatically. If you're tall and thin you are best to maintain a firmer fit even if it's a bit short in arms and legs.
