This Sharkskin Performance Wear top uses Chillproof 3-layer material for warmth and compression fabric for maximum performance.

Chillproof panels cover the front of the torso and the lower back and kidney area. The arms and shoulders are covered in compression panels to increase endurance and muscle recovery in these working muscles. The compression fabric is also flexible and breathable for fantastic arm movement and temperate regulation and is UPF50+ to provide sun protection for your arms and shoulders.

Great for paddle watersports, board watersports, sailing, multisport, etc where you need to keep your torso warm and give your arms and shoulders a performance boost.

Also great for scuba diving and snorkelling in warmer waters. The Chillproof keeps your torso warm and the compression fabric keeps your arms and shoulders protected from the Sun.
