Sharkskin is Australian Made, with it’s factory in Newcastle. They develop watersports and scuba diving undergarments with thermal properties, which allows you to stay warmer for longer whilst diving or doing what you love.

Sharkskin features several different technologies throughout their garments. The have Chillproof Titanium – the newest technology, along with Chillproof, Performance Wear, and Rapid Dry.

Why ChillProof?

ChillProof is an aquatic specific, windproof, 3 layer composite material that has been developed for water sports athletes. The comfortable “micro fleece” layer is next to the skin and can help pull moisture and sweat away from the body to help keep you dry. The second middle ‘technical’ layer is 100% windproof, yet breathes to regulate body temperature whilst stopping wind chill. The third and outer layer is a nylon/lycra blend for abrasion resistance and 4 way stretch.

These three layers of SharkSkin when combined together provide the equivilant warmth of a 2.5 to 3mm wetsuit. Unlike a standard wetsuit, ChillProof material stops wind and chill. The ChillProof range is neutrally buoyant, antimicrobial, and odor and itch resistant. It’s also UV resistant for sun protection and has durable water repellent finish (DWR) to provide a protective shell that “sheds” water.

Why Titanium ChillProof?

Keep warm with titanium nanotechnology. A revolution in thermal protection providing all the properties of traditional chillproof plus the added benefit of titanium nanotechnology that both captures and generates far infrared radiation to generate heat and provide regenerative benefits. Titanium garments are windproof, lightweight, neutrally buoyant, and provide the warmth of 4 to 5mm traditional wetsuit. Ditch your old wetsuit or layer for extra insulation in cold waters.
