Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exceeded Expectations

I was vacationing in San Diego earlier this year and decided to grab something that would help with both the water temperature and wind chill, and provide some extra protection from the sun. Boots. At this time of year, the water temperature in the Pacific Ocean is around 60 degrees, while the average air temperature for the high places reaches the mid 70 degrees (at least when we were there). It can feel like July, provided you're active enough at the beach. I spent a lot of time on a skimboard which kept my body warm. So this suit with the scorching sun in dark colors and neoprene fabric on the torso - combined with what I would suggest even moderate activity in the water made me feel great! After resting in the shade on the beach, I began to get very cold as the wind blew me around. There were also some pretty violent falls, slides and somersaults both in the water and on land that the suit withstood. Spend 6 hours at the beach every day at noon. No sunburn on covered parts including very light stitches on sides, arms and neck. PROBLEMS: I can't confirm the durability of this hybrid shirt as I've only been using it for a few days. But I have to say I had a few nasty falls and slips both in the water and on the wet sand from skimboarding which he handled perfectly. I'll update my review when I've used it more often to report results. After 3 full days of use with repeated full immersion, it still has an almost resinous chemical odor on the base material. It is clear that this is indeed the case. not "wrap" around your body like a feather suit or full body wetsuit that wraps around your legs and groin. Therefore, water tends to seep easily through the bottom of the shirt and down the neck. So getting the fit right is very important because you want it to be as comfortable and snug as possible. I felt they could have used stronger elastic around the neck and waist to make the fit more snug. The neck material was more or less loose around my neck and had no elasticity. Overall, however, I am very happy with my purchase as it honestly exceeded my expectations. Be sure to measure your chest and waist, don't guess the size.
