Women's Skinsuits & Rashguards

What is the Differences in Women's Skinsuits?

Women's Skinsuits are for sports like swimming, diving, surfing and kayaking. The amount of stretch in a skinsuit comes from the materials used. Spandex for example is stretchy and can make a skinsuit easier to get in and out of and more comfortable. There are blends of nylon and spandex in skinsuits. Skinsuits are not wetsuits and do not have neoprene. There are also skinsuits that are made of polyeolfin and those suits offer some thermal protection, so if you need extra warmth under your wetsuit, try a polyolefin skin. Skinsuits can cost more depending on how much stretch in the skin.

Women's Skinsuits for Sun Protection

Skin suits are excellent for protection from harmful UV rays and sea life. If you are looking for ways to protect your skin when doing your favorite water sports, skins are an inexpensive option. They are not made of neoprene and do not provide thermal (warmth) protection unless they are made of polyolefin. If you are in warm tropical waters and need just a little thermal protection, look for a polyolefin skinsuit or a 1mm neoprene wetsuit or shorty springsuit wetsuit.
