GUIDE TO HELP YOU WITH THE BEST FIT FOR YOUR ACTIVITY The first thing to consider is what watersports activity you will use your Sharkskin garment for: Scuba Diving, Snorkelling and Swimming (where you are typically fully submerged in the water) – either by itself or underneath a wetsuit your Sharkskin garment should be a ‘firm’ fit. General Watersports Activities (where you are typically in and. out of the water or just splashed with water). You can opt for a slightly looser fit for the tops – particularly for very active watersports where you are rotating your torso and having a slightly looser fit will add to the comfort. Bottoms should be a ‘firm’ fit. To ensure a looser fit opt for the higher end of the sizing scale when comparing your measurements to the size chart. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS If you are ‘average height’ compared to your weight, in other words, you fall between the key parameters for weight and height, the guide should be straightforward, and detailed measurement is not required. If you fall outside of the ‘average’ please use below as a guide. You may need a different size top and bottom – so please measure both rather than choosing the same size automatically. When measuring for a top you should measure the widest part of your chest and the narrowest part of your waist. When measuring for a bottom you should measure the widest part of your hip and widest part of your thighs. When making your selection use previous experience along with these measurements to guide you. If you’re tall and thin you are best to maintain a firmer fit even if it’s a bit short in the arms and legs.
