🔥 NEW GENERATION PERFORMANCE WEAR
More Warmth. More Freedom. Even Better Performance!
Performance Wear has always been about intelligent panel placement — combining Chillproof core warmth with performance fabrics through the shoulders and arms for flexibility and muscle support.
The new generation Performance Wear builds on that foundation with solid improvements.
We have retained the proven Chillproof 3-layer front core protection and the chest zipper for ease of getting in and out of the top BUT we have increased the Chillproof coverage at the top of the back for a boost in warmth.
Then we supercharged the performance fabric in the shoulders, gussets and arms by upgrading the standard compression fabric to our NEW advanced Thermal Flex with far-infrared (FIR) technology.
The result is a warmer, faster, more fluid performance top designed specifically for active water sports.
The Proven Core – Now Even Better
The Chillproof 3-layer fabric full-core coverage section with its -
• Durable Nylon/Spandex outer shell
• 100% windproof and breathable membrane
• Hollow-yarn fleece interior for moisture management
.. keeps you warmer for longer in wind, ocean spray and changing weather conditions.
Thermal Flex Arms & Gussets – The Major Upgrade
Previously, Performance Wear used compression panels through the shoulders and arms for endurance support.
Now, those zones are upgraded to Thermal Flex — delivering insulation, hydrodynamics, and unrestricted movement in one advanced design.
What Thermal Flex Delivers:
🔥 Superior Warmth Without Bulk
Provides insulation comparable to neoprene twice as thick — without stiffness, buoyancy or restriction.
💦 Hydro-Lock DWR Technology
Ultra-durable water repellency reduces absorption and surface drag, helping you glide through the water faster.
⚡ High-Density 4-Way Stretch
Maximum mobility for full shoulder rotation — critical for paddling, swimming, surfing, and all action water sports.
🌡 Embedded FIR Technology
Far Infrared energy is permanently infused into the fabric, supporting thermoregulation and muscle recovery while you train, compete, or hit your personal bests.
☀️ UPF50+ Sun Protection + 2cm High Neck
Full arm and neck coverage for long sessions in the sun.
🩶 Zero-Chafe Soft Stitch Panels
Underarm construction eliminates irritation during repetitive movement.
🩸 Chain-Stitch Neck Construction
Enhanced stretch for easy on and off and a comfortable, secure fit.
Intelligent Venting for High Output
While the core remains fully protected, the underarm Thermal Flex zones allow breathability and temperature regulation during intense sessions. You get warmth and performance without overheating.
Ideal For
Surfing • Ocean Swimming • Surf Ski • SUP • Sailing • Foiling • Multisport • Warm-water Diving & snorkelling • All action water sports.
This is Performance Wear evolved for serious movement.
Performance Wear uses the best combination of Chillproof 3-layer fabric where you need warmth + Compression fabric where you need maximum flexibility and for best muscle performance + 4-Way Stretch neoprene where you require extra comfort and abrasion resistance to create a range of garments that provide full protections from the elements. By seeking feedback from and listening to the world’s best watersports athletes Sharkskin has designed the ultimate performance watersports range.
Chillproof panels to keep you warm and protected from the elements -
- Nylon/Spandex outer layer for superior durability and abrasion resistance.
- 100% windproof and breathable membrane to stop windchill to keep you warm yet regulate body temperature to avoid overheating.
- Hollow yarn 'next to skin' fleece for warmth, comfort and superior moisture wicking properties.
Compression panels strategically placed to aid in endurance and muscle recovery –
- Breathable for additional ventilation and to regulate body temperature.
- Lightweight and flexible to allow for maximum movement during intense watersports.

At SHARKSKIN, we deeply care about the environment, as many of us are avid scuba divers and natural world enthusiasts. Our commitment to sustainability is demonstrated through five key company initiatives.
- Solar Powered
We are pleased to announce Sharkskin’s new building is 100% solar powered. - Environmental Manufacturing
Sharkskin manufactures in its own factory, allowing us to strictly control waste and efficiency. We pack our orders effectively to reduce freight and waste, and we use cutting-edge technology to minimize material waste throughout the manufacturing process. - Biodegradable Packaging
We have transitioned to biodegradable packaging. Currently, 95% of our range uses this packaging, with a goal to reach 100% soon. All newly manufactured items will be packed in the new biodegradable bags, while items in stock will remain in existing packaging. - Australian Made
We are proud to announce that we have been accredited to use the official Australian made Logo. The official website states, “The famous ‘Australian Made, Australian Grown’ (AMAG) logo is the true mark of Aussie authenticity. It’s Australia’s most trusted, most recognised and widely used country of origin symbol, and it’s underpinned by a third-party accreditation system, which ensures, products that carry the logo are genuinely Australian”.
95% of our range is proudly Australian-made. Products that do not feature the "Australian Made" logo below the "buy now" button are not manufactured in Australia. - Built to Last
We believe in creating quality gear that stands the test of time and the harsh Australian conditions. This not only results in a better product but also keeps items out of landfills, reducing waste and environmental impact for the future.
