multi-purpose dive skin for warm water
...waited to write a review until I had a chance to use it on a dive trip. ...worked out great!It's more of a dive skin than a wet suit...basically swim suit material, so it's really easy to put on and take off even when wet, though it dries pretty quickly. I'm a short (5'3'-5'4"), round (195 lbs) woman, so I ordered an XXL to make sure I wouldn't be straining the seams too much. Of course, I had to hem the legs a good bit, but at my height, EVERYTHING has to be hemmed. Otherwise, the fit was great.After 6 days of diving in 85 degree salt water +/-, I was protected neck to ankles from the sun. (Being fair skinned, I tend to burn easily, so this worked out great! Totally protected me from the sun.) ...very comfy, and even provides a wee bit of protection from brushing up against anything in the water...though I can't testify to exactly how much protection it provides since I didn't actually brush up against anything significant.I took an actual wet suit on the trip just in case, but I didn't end up needing it in such warm, mild water. This dive skin worked just fine. After 6 days of diving and thorough rinsing A LOT, the logos on the suit pretty much disappeared/peeled off...which doesn't bother me, but I thought I'd mention it in case that matters to anyone else.I really like this one, so I plan to buy another one next year. ...not that I plan on this one wearing out all that soon, but like most "clothing," swim suit material does eventually pick and start to wear out with heavy use, especially if you're sitting on a textured seat while gearing up.

5'11/6'0", 178 lbs, athletic build, X-Large is good
I'm 5'11" , maybe 6"0" if my posture is good, weigh about 178 lbs, show some definition. With a sewing tape measure I am 33" around the waist, 40" around the chest under the armpits, the X-Large works for me. I was wavering between Large and X-Large, the Large definitely would have been too small. The X-Large fits me fairly skin tight. It is form fitting without being uncomfortable, it isn't "revealing" (while wearing swim trunks underneath), and still has a little room to give (meaning I can fully extend my arms, bend, twist, turn comfortably and without worry of busting a seam). It's not cutting into my back side, no wedgies, etc. Its not pulling on my neck or shoulders, I don't feel constricted, but you can see certainly see every contour of my body; I might find myself sucking in my gut just bit. Now, if I was an inch taller (6'1"), I'd definitely get an XX-Large. Its well made, very soft, t-shirt thin, I appreciate the plastic zipper that won't corrode with saltwater and the thumb straps hidden inside the sleeves that help prevent the sleeves from riding up if slipping on other gear or into a wet suit. Hope this helps.

Great for snorkeling!
This suit is pretty great. I bought it to wear while doing research on sunscreen in the ocean (so I could not wear sunscreen myself). I now plan on wearing it anytime I go snorkeling. It is lightweight so you don't notice you're wearing it, but it completely eliminates any worry about sunburn, plus you feel good about not washing all that sunscreen into the ocean and harming reefs. It's quite easy to get on and off. I went on a night dive and wore it for a bit of warmth - and got an added benefit when we ran into a lot of tiny jellyfish. Everyone else had minor stings and I didn't have anything. And it's small enough that it takes up maybe the space of a tshirt in your luggage.Sizing - I'm 5'5" and about 120 lbs. I got a small. It's quite tight and a bit short. Most people my height would probably want the medium.

Good. Snug. Very little drag. Would buy again
I am 5'6" 155 lbs wearing a 12 or 14. I am not curvy - I am a tomboy figure with not much of a waist (so I always test the midsection of these things!). Because I swim laps - a WHOLE lot - I am broader through the shoulders (40 or 42 sports bra). This outfit fit me fine in a LARGE. It was snug but exactly what I needed for lap swimming. It did not bind me in any way. It did not hold water and slow me down like a competing sport skin from another maker. I really noticed a difference. This skin felt more like nylon than spandex, water seemed to flow around it better, decreasing any drag effects.

Good product for the money
Not too shabby. Got this to wear under stormtrooper armor. Feels comfortable. I am 6'0, 200 lbs. Average build. I bought an extra large. It fits decent enough. Would like a tiny bit more room in the crotch area, though.Let's be clear: this is NOT UA. It's not going going to have all the wicking and separate heat zone technology like some of my other base layers do. It also doesn't carry the high price tag either. It is however, comfortable enough to wear for extended periods of time with no noticeable discomfort or heat build up in areas where that might be a problem. Also, full frontal zipper is super convenient. Stirrups help keep everything where it should be. Would love to see this with a taller neck.All in all, good for the money, and does exactly what I need it to.

the suit is great. I ordered a 3 X because I read ...
Well it arrived and held up to its first wash. However the zipper did not zip up and down right and when I was in the water the zipper broke. But, the suit is great. I ordered a 3 X because I read all the reviews carefully. However, the suit after washing and drying a few times is a tad big in American standards that is. I found a person that can fix the zipper for a little bit of money and I'm just going to do that rather than return it and wait for another one. Also, it could also be taken up easily if its a tad big for you. But, the zipper did not lay correctly flat to the body and that is all the negative things that I would have to say. I would order again from this company because overall the quality is good.

Great skin
Just so everyone is clear. This is not a wetsuit. It is a skin to wear under your wetsuit. I have seen several comments where people thought they had purchased a wetsuit and criticized product for it. It clearly states in the description that it is a skin.I am 5' 9 and 240lb. Was worried about what size to purchase. I went with the xxx and it fit like a glove. As another buyer mentioned it leaves nothing to the imagination but it feels great on and really makes it easier to get your wetsuit off. Also provides that little bit more of insulation.Great value

Really Happy.
I had something similar many years ago for scuba and just got back into diving. They are great to add that extra layer under a wetsuit for a little extra warmth.As for the sizing for me, 5' 10" 170lbs, XL. I originally got a L but needed just that little extra room.The product is as described, Full Body Sports Skin.

Great base layer for under wetsuit!
Fits true to size, went by the measurement table. Arrived really fast with Prime (and I live on an island!)Haven’t tried in the cold North Atlantic water yet. But will surely be a good base layer under my wetsuit, or great for sea kayaking on warm summer days to keep the sun off, and in case of an overturn, warm enough until we get to shore to dry off.Happy with this purchase!

Sun protection! Really great for those of us "burn and peelers".
Honestly, my wife thinks I look a bit silly in this, but I burn VERY easily and I'm tired of continuously applying sunscreen and polluting the water with chemicals. Wearing this (and some swim shorts over top... it doesn't leave much to the imagination by itself!) I felt really protected from the sun and the proof is in the pudding... I was out all day in the hot Cuban sun and only had to worry about a little bit of sunscreen on hands, head and neck.It is a snug fit for a tall person (I find I have to "crouch" into it a bit, but it stretches) and the material is thinner than I thought it would be, but it protected me from the sun without noxious chemicals and I'm glad for it.
