Sharkskin Womens Chillproof 2025 Top Long Sleeve Full Zip

You get up early, grab your SUP and start gliding across the cool, glassy water before the sun has had a chance to warm up the day. Halfway through your paddle, the morning sun starts hitting you as your workload is peaking. The top that was keeping you warm at the start of the paddle is now bordering on too warm, so you zip it all the way down to let the breeze and  the last bit of crisp, morning air cool you down.

The Chillproof Long Sleeve Full Zip top by Sharkskin, uses its patented Chillproof material that keeps wind and water spray off you, while its fleece-like inside simultaneously warms you and wicks moisture away from your body. The full zip gives you the ability to unzip on a sunny day paddling or in between dives, and zip up when it’s cooler or you are going underwater. Water sports enthusiasts love it for its unique look and easy donning and doffing.

• Thumb loops to help pull a wetsuit over the top

Sizing Guide

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

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.
