While we don't need a lot up here the wind can get a bit cutting at times. I have come across these Sharkskin Chillproof products and was wondering if anybody as used them or has anything better?

A few folks down here use sharkskin garments and rate them, including the pre-dawn-training-all-through-melbourne-winter crowd.

I got the Vaikobi pants and they work a treat when it's 10 outside, they have breathable sections on the leg like skins and dry our well. I used them in a DWer and fell in a few times, got cold in the water but once I was on the board again warm as toast.
Good compression too for recovering muscles after a long paddle.

Do you know of a retailer in Vic where you can try them on?

Snorkel & Dive Sarfari in Heidleberg, Mick.

Usually not a lot in stock, so don't travel up there expecting 3 sizes of everything in stock, but they will order for you.
I use a long sleeve top, but it's not warm enough by itself for a 6am winter paddle in Melbourne.

Hbeat98, I'd say that it WOULD be warm enough for Qld all year round

PS Chillproof range

We know all about winter paddling down here and a good pair of gumboots and a TassieSUP hoodie is all you need

thats gorgeous
