I use this to swim in a community pool. I had extensive injuries & surgeries after a terrible accident years ago, and did not go near a pool or the ocean ever since. With this dive skin, I was able to return to an activity I love without feeling embarrassed by my scars and damaged legs.

The fit is great. I am 5"4" 127 and bought a size 9 because I have feeding tubes and don't want a form-fitted garment. Otherwise a size 7 would be perfect and size 5 would be a skin tight squeeze. It dries quickly, is lightweight, and makes me look like an Olympic star!

I use the dive skin as a swimsuit when doing pool training. It fits well, doesn''t ride up and dries quickly when hung to dry.

This is my second body suit. I have one that I use 3 -4 times a week and love it. It is comfortable and versatile. I can move around in the water without feeling weighted down. It is a little long for me because I am short...but that is even better at times. It keeps the sun off my body and after I leave the beach...I keep it on to work in the yard to further stay out of the sun. Ideal for this too. I bought a 2nd one for another location...now I don''t have to carry it back and forth...I can leave it at both residences.  Most Body suits don''t have the stirrups...I love these because there is no riding up of the leg in the water....great stuff!!!

fits well, swims well, loops at wrists and ankles keep it secure. Dries fairly fast, too. Nice lightweight for warm waters.

I plan to use the dive skin to protect myself from the sun while snorkeling in Raja Ampat, Indonesia in the Spring.  
  It fits well and I like the feel of the fabric and that there''s a zipper in the front so it will be easier to put on than my old one.
   Can''t wait to use it.

I use this product in Hawaii when it''s cloudy and cool or just when I''m going to be in the water for more than 20 or 30min at a time so I won''t get sunburned.  Fit is pretty good, but as others have stated, the torso is a bit long with some unfortunate crotch sagging.  I bought a size 5 and I''m 5''4" at 120lbs.   Overall I''m quite pleased.  I need a "skin", not a diving suit.  Tried a 1mm diving suit and it was much too heavy.

It is perfect weight and size for me. It will make my diving experiences most enjoyable.

Size: Feels too small

Size somewhat small. Unexpected good thumb loops that will keep sleeves in place.  Collar covers base of neck but better if it were actually "tall" up the neck.

I just purchased this suit and love how if fits and feels-i was worried it would be tight or constricting and it is neither. For the first time in many years I am confident going to a public pool as i like to be covered up when swimming laps (have had many surgeries on my legs, stomach etc wtih scars i do not like exposed)

Really soft material, breaths well. Not tight at all.
