Questions & Answers

Shopper : Is this suit made of nylon or polyester ?darrick c : Hello, Crafted from a thin material (86% Polyester / 14% Spandex), the Skin is a versatile and a must-have fullsuit for traveling divers. The high-stretch material is effortless to swim in and naturally conforms to the body to reduce drag. The Skin provides UV protection 40+ on the surface and just the warmth needed for extended snorkeling or diving sessions in tropical waters. A long front zip makes the Skin easy to put on and the suit easily layers under thicker dive wear.
Shopper : How does this 1mm nylon compare with neoprene for warmth?Sumner S : Probably not as much as a 1 mmTOBY A : I have a 1mm neoprene. It is warmer. Also it is slick shin, not nylon on outside which drys quicker, so you do not get the evaporative cooling topside. This is like a rash guard, I wear it under a 1mm slick shorty.David C : First off it is not 1mm thick it is a thin nylon rashgard not much thicker than a standard long sleeve shirt. My son has a 1mm neoprene suit and it is noticeably thicker than this suit. I bought it to protect me from jelly fish and coral when diving. I use it for warm (78 degree+) water diving under a 2 mm shorty wet suit and it is perfect.MIKE F : Zero R factor.AUBREY W : I don't wear it for warmth. I wear it by itself in warm water diving for abrasion, jellyfish, and UV protection. I wear it under a wetsuit to make it easier to put on and take off the wetsuit.Nanette H : We snorkeled on the Great Barrier Reef with our suits. No warmth needed. Just protection from the sun and jellyfish. I would not say it provided any warmth at all.Clay H : I purchased 4 of these for my family when we went to Belize to snorkel. They really helped with sun and wind exposure. All four of us stayed very comfortable in the water on 30-45 minute snorkeling adventures. We also wore them on the sailing boat in wind and rain squalls and stayed quite comfortable. It's not a wet suit but it's great for milder temperature water, wind and sun exposure. We were always the last out of the water!anthony i : I agree with the best answer...except that the 1mm suit DOES keep a layer of water inside it just as a standard wet suit does. This water warms up with contact against the skin and it does provide a level of warmth. Of course, it is not as insulating as a thicker suit but it is not the thickness that provides warmth. It is the ability to keep the layer of water inside the suit. This suit does that pretty well. I am very happy with it. For the record, I use mine in my hot tub to keep the chemicals off my skin to some degree.ANDREW L : I don't have 1mm neoprene to compare with, but 1mm nylon does not provide much insulation - I wore it as an undersuit to make it easier to don/doff a 7mm suit, for which it worked fine. I also snorkeled in it, where it offered good protection from sun and occasional marine life, but no real thermal insulation.Cindy C : I can't compare; but I was most comfortable in 65 degree water
Shopper : Is this similar material to a rash-guard shirt?G D : YesDarren C : Yes, it's like a lightweight lycra material. Very light for travel, the front zipper is good quality and easy to use. I dove for an hour in 85F water in Cozumel with it and was very comfortable. I mainly use it to safeguard against bc rash, or from accidentally brushing up against anything. Plus it looks good on!JOSEPH V : Yes it is.
Shopper : Do they have a size chart for women?Mario C : that is a unisex suit with a mens only size chart
Shopper : What UPF is this rated to? I have a friend who dives but has skin cancer.WILLIAM B : UPF 50+, I took it to the Maldives but did not need it so I have not used it yet.

Does the job, good fit

I'm 6' 130 lbs with long arms and long legs, so womens suits just won't do the job; I needed the unisex to get the length. Could have done the 1x; but got the 2x in case my husband ever wants to use it. He's 6'4 and 160 and it will work for him. I was really quite happy with the fit. Florida Keys in January. I wanted something more than my swimsuit for 6 days outside in sun, wind, 68 degree water and 68 degree air. With this, I only needed sunscreen on my face and feet. Snorkeled one afternoon and I encountered a portuguese man of war... which only stung my hand and not my entire arm as it wrapped around me. I'd say this suit paid for itself thrice over. Once for a very light - but much welcome layer in cool air, twice for the sun protection, and a third time against the man-o-war. If I never use it again, it was well worth; but I expect it will get out more. one complaint: if the zipper were longer it would be easier to get over the shoulders and off.

Purchased for snorkeling

Bought five for a family snorkeling trip to Roatan. Worked great. The pink suits are cut for females and the other colors are all cut for males. We returned a yellow and swapped for a pink which fit my daughter much better. We were all very pleased and recommend.

Great skin for warm water

Just finished a week diving in Cozumel. Water temperature 84 degrees. It was perfect and protected me from sun and the reef from sun block. Perfect.

THE BEST,

I love my Cressida wetskins(I now have 6). I,m a distance swimmer and they do a great job protecting me from the sun. The fit is awesome. They are the only skins that fit for my long arms and legs because they are unisex and the only ones I can find in xs. Please get the black/ yellow and black/grey and I will buy 6 more.

"1mm" is misleading: this is not a "wet" suit, more of a skin rash, standard spandex material.

this skin suit is not quite what i was expecting, the "1mm" is a bit misleading: this is not a neoprene suit, its just thin spandex, and the material is a fair bit less than 1mm. the other bit of this is the suit is freakishly long. the last bit is the zipper, while of good quality, maybe too thick for a spandex suit: not the thin mesh type but the thick molded zipper bit type, it rubs when i walk around that i think it may result in swim rash as there's nothing protecting the hard bit from rubbing your chest all day.

What I expected.

It fits well and is perfect for what I wanted it for. I may even wear it snorkeling in Bonaire to avoid sunburn. My only complaint is that it is a bit difficult to get off my shoulders. I just not as agile as I used to be!

Nice undersuit for a thick wetsuit

Fits a tall thin person very well, fairly easy to don/doff once you get the hang of its stretchy form, comfortable to wear. As an undersuit for a 7mm wetsuit, worked great.

Mostly positive experience

Generally pleased for a little bit of extra warmth until 7 mm and helps slide on the thick wetsuit over this Cressi. the only thing that is not ideal is the location of the zipper on the neck; it's a bit uncomfortable. However, I've done 6 dives so far and it stayed just umcomfy, so I can live with that.

Great Item!

This dive akin is awesome! It’s thin, form-fitting, really stretchy, and very soft. Has a compression fit look, without the suffocating feeling. Really feels like a second layer of skin. This will be my go to suit for diving in the Caribbean over my neoprene dive suit for sure. 5’8, male, 160lbs...went with a size Medium and it fits perfectly. One con is that the zipper should have been lower to to make putting on and taking off the sleeves easier.
