UPF 50 Graphite RG Steamer Ladies

Description

Coverage rather than thickness is the point of a dive skin, and on a Sodwana or Ponta reef a full one covers the legs that a rash vest leaves open, taking away the bare skin hydroids and fire coral find. This is the women's version, a full-body nylon suit from the UPF Collection rated UPF 50, which blocks 98 percent of UV radiation. The fabric is high-quality nylon cut close to the body, so it adds no drag under a wetsuit, and worn over a swimming costume it doubles as the layer that lets a 5 mm steamer slide on instead of sticking. It closes with a YKK front zipper, where the men's cut takes a back zipper. A high neck cuts the chafe a BC strap and a mask strap cause, and thumb loops at the wrists and stirrups at the ankles stop the suit riding up while a wetsuit goes over it. Five sizes in graphite. There is no neoprene in it, so it gives no thermal protection on its own. It suits a woman diving warm water.
