This is the ultimate full suit providing skin protection against jellyfish, sea lice and also protect against the sun UV radiation. These suits are made from light weight fabric, may uses regular nylon and spandex materials including Lycra, however the best suits are made from Polyester microfiber materials which is superior to the traditional swimwear fabric allowing skin to release sweat, keeping skin cool in hot weather conditions, and retaining colors and elasticity functions.
