GUIDE TO HELP YOU WITH THE BEST FIT FOR YOUR ACTIVITY
The first thing to consider is what watersports activity you will use your Sharkskin garment for:
- Scuba Diving, Snorkelling and Swimming (where you are typically fully submerged in the water) - either by itself or underneath a wetsuit your Sharkskin garment should be a 'firm' fit.
- General Watersports Activities (where you are typically in and. out of the water or just splashed with water).
You can opt for a slightly looser fit for the tops - particularly for very active watersports where you are rotating your torso and having a slightly looser fit will add to the comfort. Bottoms should be a 'firm' fit.
To ensure a looser fit opt for the higher end of the sizing scale when comparing your measurements to the size chart.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
If you are 'average height' compared to your weight, in other words, you fall between the key parameters for weight and height, the guide should be straight forward, and detailed measurement is not required. If you fall outside of the 'average' please use below as a guide.
- You may need a different size top and bottom - so please measure both rather than choosing the same size automatically.
- When measuring for a top you should measure the widest part of your chest and the narrowest part of your waist. When measuring for a bottom you should measure the widest part of your hip and widest part of your thighs.
- When making your selection use previous experience along with these measurements to guide you. 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.

The Sharkskin size charts are made to be accurate for the type of fit you need for each garment. 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 BELOW
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 favourite 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.

Your bodies extremities lose heat rapidly so need protection from the cold. Pogies wrap around your hand to keep them warm while paddling in extremely cold conditions.
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 providing 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.
