SharkskinMens Chillproof 1PC Full Wetsuit

Just got home and was super excited to see that my sharkskin that I ordered was here waiting on me. I went to try on my new sharkskin and the zipper is stuck. It won’t unzip. I have been trying to get it zipped down now for 15 minutes and it won’t unzip. So I guess it will be going back

I purchased two sizes of the Sharkskin suit and also bought the Mares Ultraskin, which was top rated in a Scuba review. Both are easy to put one due to fleece interior. But I went with the Sharkskin because it actually has a more athletic cut and better contours to your body. The Mares left to much air gap on my back side. Secondly, the back zipper on the Sharkskin made it easier to remove. With the Mares I couldn't pull it off my shoulders easily and that was dry. The Sharkskin feels a little more like a true wetsuit and has less shine than the Mares. Though the Mares is very comfortable but the air gap was too much.

After wearing one time some threads on it are ripping loose already.

Just got back from a weekends diving and this suit was well worth the investment. It kept me warm in 23+ degree water for each dive between 50 to 35 minutes, then it kept me warm on the 20 minute speedboat trips back to the live-aboard boat. The build quality is great and the fit is true to the size chart, my only complaint is the thumb loops are a bit to short which was uncomfortable after 50 minutes in the water.

This is a great wet suit for those of us who are a bit more plump and the material stretches around your torso while donning versus traditional neoprene material. I have 8 dives on my new suit and it performed well and kept me comfortable in 82F salt water. I did notice that some of the stitching is starting to fuzz up and fray a little after only 8 dives.
