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.

      Comfortable and light. Love the pockets.

      Well made and comfortable. Easy to move and paddle wearing it. Mesh pockets are very useful. Back pocket is surprisingly useful too.

      All the bits I needed

      Lots of features eg tag for night light, two front net pockets for my flask of tea and phone, a couple of tags to hang me bits off and best of all a big back pocket for a bladder and corned beef sarnies.

      Comfortable, visible and well made PFD

      I thought for some time about buying this Sharkskin PFD, partly due to cost but it's really comfortable, soft and well made. When we recently went on a night paddle,

      it reflected well and was more visible than other PFDs. The front pockets are large enough to slip my phone into, even when the phone is in the Sharkskin phone pouch. I saw the PFD recommended on FB kayaking group a number of times and am glad I bought it, it's far better than the cheaper brand I originally bought. The waterproof phone pouch does the job too, it recently sat a while in a slightly flooded kayak and didn't leak at all.

      Very comfortable Peace of mind

      I go to the beach with my SUP early in the morning by myself. It is important for safety as peace of mind. It is very comfortable standing up on the board and sitting as kayaking. The 2 pockets in front is very useful to put mobile phone in the Free case came with this. I was able to take out from the pocket and take photo shot. I recommend to everyone enjoying water sport.
