CHILLPROOF
CHILLPROOF LONG SLEEVE
An aquatic specific, windproof
3-layer composite material
that has been developed for
watersports athletes.
By itself or underneath a long sleeve wetsuit, this
top provides the ultimate protection from cold
and wind. It has a soft neoprene neck seal to help
keep wind, water, spray and waves from entering.
The long sleeves offer additional protection from
the cold and sun and the thumb tabs assist when
pulling a wetsuit on over the top.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The comfortable ‘micro fleece’ layer is
next to the skin and ‘wicks’ moisture
and sweat away from the body to
help keep you dry. The second middle
‘technical’ layer is 100% windproof yet
breathes to regulate body temperature
while stopping windchill. The third
outer layer is a nylon/lycra blend for
abrasion resistance and 4 way stretch.
It is also UV resistant for sun protection
and has a durable water repellent finish
(DWR) to provide a protective shell
that ‘sheds’ water.
Sharkskin Chillproof is neutrally buoyant,
anti-microbial, odour resistant, itch
resistant and machine washable.

CHILLPROOF SLEEVELESS VEST WITH HOOD
CHILLPROOF 1 PIECE SUIT

still remaining comfortable.

cold, sun and marine stingers. It can be used under an existing
wetsuit for extra warmth or can completely replace your wetsuit in
warmer waters. It is less buoyant than neoprene so you need less
weight, making you more comfortable when snorkeling or diving.

COVERT
COVERT STINGER SUIT
The Covert range utilizes the
patented built-in concealment
technology of HECS
StealthScreen to improve your
dive experience. The different
designs use materials woven
with HECS’ conductive carbon
fibers that trap and reduce
your naturally occurring electric
signal output that many marine
animals can detect and react
to, enhancing your ability to get
closer to marine life underwater.
Sharkskin Covert works by
combining 3 scientific principles:
1. All living things emit a faint
electric signal.
2. Some marine species can
detect faint electric signals.
3. A conductive screen
operating as a ‘Faraday’
shield can reduce
electric signals.
The 1 piece Fullsuit design featuring HECS
StealthScreen technology reduces the body’s
electric signal. Front entry zip makes it easy
to get on and off, while the 2-way zip design
adds a convenience feature for men. Wear
under a drysuit, under a wetsuit or by itself
in warmer waters for protection from marine
stingers. SPF 50+ for added sun protection.
