This is my second suit I have ordered from this company. The first one lasted me three years. I use it in the pool when the water is chilly to help me stay a bit warmer and unfortunately the chlorine is tough on the suit so two months ago the material just started falling apart. I am pleased with it though and it is great under a wet suit. The zippper works well on it and I have had no other issues.

My wife and I used these for snorkeling in Hawaii. They provide good sun protection and enough heat containment in the water that we did not feel chilled even after an hour or so in the water, unlike our fellow snorkelers who became chilled enough that they had to get out of the water.

In direct sunlight before swimming it gets pretty hot (after all they are black and this was in Hawaii!), but the front zipper makes it easy to cool down.

This is not a substitute for a swimming suit (opaque and VERY form fitting). It stretched well and the seams were not too stressed.

I love love this thing. After most women pass 60, jiggly thighs is the last thing you want to show off on a snorkeling trip. I don't even wear a swimsuit under it. This is thin enough to wear up on the beach as well as paddling around with your mask and snorkel.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this product. I've never bought anything like this before but it was recommended for a trip to the Galapagos (apparently, you can get minor stings from jellyfish while in the water so they recommend a full body skin). Keep in mind this is NOT a wetsuit despite what the name of the product suggests. It's a very thin dive skin that you can wear under your normal wetsuit, which is what I did. Therefore, it's not really going to keep you warmer than usual or anything like that. But it's nice for offering some protection against light stings (I didn't actually end up experiencing any jellyfish on my trip so I'm making an assumption there) and I've read other reviews where folks use it as a coverup in the sun. I was concerned about sizing but I think they run about average, not big or small.

This is the perfect skin to wear for anything! I hate wearing bathing suits and exposing my body to the sun, so I have worn this for water skiing in Virginia all the way to the Blue Lagoon in Iceland and all the way to scuba diving in Thailand! It is thin enough to be comfortable everywhere and hide all of your body flaws, and I just love it to death! I am 5'9" and weigh 190 pounds and the XL fits me perfectly! And the quality is perfect for a skin....remember, it is a SKIN so it's meant to be thin. Amazing product for the price!
