[...] Just used on 40+ dives in two weeks, 83 deg. water. Great coral and sun protection. Resisted abrasion well. About as easy to put on as all the others. Not thermal protection, good for warm water only I think but good for under wetsuit to ease donning.Would not dive reef areas without one. Have a Henderson and like this one much better as the lycra is harder and smoother. Rinses easily and dries very fast. I plan on getting another one. Also like the color (black/yellow) but wou...ld like to see turquoise or purple.
I use this Lycra suit for many different purposes. I take many people snorkeling and diving on my boat. Now that I’m over 50, my skin is really aging, and this suit is excellent sun protection but not hot. Going out in the boat to the
Ocean water with wind and waves, I’m always wet and receive comfort from the Lycra. “Good bye Chicken skin!” This suit works well with Scuba diving as well, in warm water I don’t have to worry about jelly fish stings as much. One time down at Cozumel our g...roup swam into a bunch of jelly fish eggs, everyone was stung with little prickle stings, but they did not get through my Lycra suit. For cold water diving, my wet suit slides over my Lycra suite and it gives an extra layer of warmth at not cost to any bulk. Works well under my Dry suite as well.
The sport skin is a full body watersport garment that is comfortable and provides a non-confining stretch fit. It is perfect worn alone or as a base layer under any wetsuit. Plus, it makes putting on a wetsuit much easier. Foot stirrups and thumb loops help prevent suits from riding up. The NeoSport Unisex Sport Skin is made from a spandex material, has durable overlock seams with rolled edges. Easy self-donning and doffing with the heavy duty #5 YKK front zipper closure. Skin has an anatomical cut pattern for a comfortable fit. Internal key pocket and tear away sizing tags. The NeoSport Unisex Sport Skin provides UV protection from the sun's harmful rays. Divers and snorkeler's looking protection and a defense against sea lice, jellies and other biological irritants will love this super stretchy, heavy duty and comfortable sport skin. Suit is available in multiple sizes and colors.

What is the material? Is it nylon spandex or polyester spandex?
darrick c
Hello, this is a spandex material.
Shopper
can it be altered/shortened?
Mario C
Not by us.
Shopper
Will it provide protection from 60 degree water.?
Mario C
This suit has no thermal protection.
DALE S
There is no insulating effect from it at all so I would say no. Mainly used to help putting on and taking off a wet suit or for protection from jelly fish stinging you.

NeoSport sports skin - Want to use under wetsuit to ease taking wetsuit on and off?
DIANNA Q
Very easy to put on and take off.
Jim C
Dear Bill, Try again, this time use complete sentences.
BRADEN W
As long as your sports skin fits snuggly without gaps, bulges or excess wrinkles which might effect the wet suit being snug, it is excellent for easing the "tug" to get a wet suit on especially if an extreme tight fit.
Nick F
It does make it easier. If you have socks as well or zippered legs it's really easy.
