After trying a sample, our entire team has now purchased sharkskins. We find the product of exceptional quality and perfect for protection from the elements during both patrols and competitions. Whether constantly in the water or in the boat exposed to the surf and wind, sharkskin have become an essential addition to our team uniform. Not just to win races, but to save lives.

I’ve been using the Sharkskin for two years now – principally in the kayak and on early mornings on Lake Pupuke.In the past I have used several layers of Poly pro and a water proof wind proof jacket to stay warm.  One of the problems with this method is the bulkiness you are left with and so when you want your arms to move freely they are trapped by the layers of clothes you’re wearing. I have been using a sharkskin vest.

Even on the coldest mornings all I need is a l/sleeve thermal and my sharkskin.  It have found it allows me to keep warm in a variety of conditions and the rain is no issue.  t can really dump it down and you are no colder when wearing the sharkskin. I’ve also been using it on the surf ski and it’s brilliant.  I’ve hopped off into the water just to test it out and found that it really keeps me warm even when wet.  I also use a very thin neoprene type top and when this gets wet when combined with the breeze it can be really cool…the sharkskin is significantly warmer than the new titanium neoprene type garments out these days.

The Sharkskin top is awesome. I have paddled with it twice on very cold and windy nights, on the Auckland harbour and stay toasty. Good fit, stretch, and was not a sweat shop like a wet suits or 0.5 mil titanium tops. Good length even covered my backup with low shorts cut which expose back when sitting. It’s a winner for winter paddling!

“Chill Factor Zero” the ad claims. Our readers confirm this! All over the Country the Sharkskin brand of thermal wear is flowing off the shelves. Its fleecy Polartec® lining makes it the most comfortable paddling wear available.

Tony Barrett of Hamilton C&K told me “I was on the Mohaka River in May, wearing just a Sharkskin and dry top. Although I was wet all day, I never felt the cold. When I took it off, it felt as if there had been no water in it. The water vanished very quickly.” There’s no need for anyone to put up with the cold any more.

After hearing all the positive feedback about the Sharkskin product, I decided it was long overdue to try some clothing that could keep me warm with my Jetskifishing adventures. I have used various wetsuit brands and after the restrictive nature of the other products and rashes I was receiving, keeping warm and comfortable had been an issue...

Since using the Sharkskin range my adventures have been more enjoyable, also sustaining longer periods of fishing, even in extreme conditions, as I am no longer suffering from the cold. I totally recommend any athletes that are subjected to the elements, keep warm and dry, use the Sharkskin range and you to can really enjoy your sport.
