The size chart for shirt was according to my body, however I found the hood a little bit smaller and tight than expected compared to the shirt size. Is a great option when the water gets over 20C (in warm temperature) and great for night diving.

I ordered the hooded top and am so excited about it. I swim laps for 4 hours at a time and needed to stay warm as well as protect myself from the sun. I found exactly what I needed. Excellent product! Thanks so much

I see the sizing chart has the dimensions for my body but what about the hood? I wear a 7-3/8 hat, will the ML hood be okay?

The waist and chest are the most important measurements for the fit. Weight will depend on the divers body build and is the last measurement to consider. As long as the item is not used in the water you have up to 60 days to refund or exchange it. The vest style fit easier than the long sleeves.

Seam Construction
All of the Lavacore seams are overlapped during flatlock sewing to ensure maximum water integrity and reduced waterflow through the seams. Maximum heat retention is therefore achieved when worn in colder water conditions. See diagram. To ensure maximum integrity and longevity of your Lavacore garment the seam cross-overs on the inside of the suit are locked under the threads of the adjoining seam. The seam construction being doubled and flat-locked allows for maximum stretch out of the four way stretch fabric technology without compromising at seam edges.
Panel Design
The Lavacore range includes female and male specific cut and unique design. Lycra panels with contemporary lines and graphics are incorporated into all garments. Full Under the Arm Gusset. This ensures there is no rub or irritation on the sensitive under side of the arms and side of the body. It also reduces restricted movement considerably and allows for extra reach without seam strain and damage.
