GoldFin Wetsuit Top Women, 2mm Wetsuits Jacket Long Sleeve Neoprene Tops for Water Aerobics Diving Surfing Swimming

I’ve never worn a wet suit, I carefully measured myself and ordered XL per size chart. It fit slightly snugly and wore it in the pool one time,,, it became so large in the water it rolled up under my bust and I had to roll the wrist over into a cuff because water easily went up my arm. I didn’t return because I had worn it once in the water. I may try to contact company to see if they can help me.I since ordered a large and medium as I leave for my snorkel trip in a couple days. the medium was a keeper. I do have abnormally small wrists but I think the company needs re evaluate their size recommendations.I’m 5 ft 6in 150pounds pear shapeUpdate: I had originally given 3 stars due to the sizing as mentioned above; however, this jacket is amazing in the pool. Many elderly women have dropped out of aqua classes because they are so cold, today I remained very comfortable, actually warm during aqua Zumba.. I am thrilled with this purchase once I found the right size. Two ladies in my aqua fitness classes have since had me send them the link.Additional update:This wet suit has been a lifesaver! It’s one month now, the XL I originally purchased I gave to a friend in Aqua Zumba (pool heater broken still and part won’t come till April), so two other ladies have now purchased this brand, and two more ladies today asked me to send them this link!!!!!They have all said, these jackets really make a huge difference and are now able to stay for two hours of classes.

Received less than 24 hours after ordering, which is great since I’m traveling for cold water outrigger canoeing in 2 days. Ordered the matching pants. Size medium top & pants. I am athletic build, wide shoulders (a paddler), 5’6” tall, 122 lbs, 34C/36B, 25-26 waist, 35-36 hips, long torso & long arms. Small wrists, larger forearms. Other female outrigger canoe paddlers recommended this brand and style. Generally i have a hard time finding a wetsuit i can paddle in. This one is flexible enough for paddling, is ez on and off, the arms are long enough for my arms, the sleeves go over my big sports watch (garmin triathlete watch) altough if you are tracking your workouts, you will need to push the watch to start before pulling the sleeve down over the watch. Wrists are snug but do not dig into my wrists. My forearms, arms, shoulders are muscular but not overly constricted in this top. The top is long enough to cover my long torso and goes over the pants. Top would likely be fine for shorter torso people. Colors are vibrant, nice, and design is flattering. I have simulated paddling in a chair, and this top enables appropriate movement and reach. Although i got this for 6 man outrigger canoeing (OC6), i will definitely use it for single & 2 person (OC1, OC2) Outrigger paddling, swimming in pool or ocean, SUP, and perhaps hiking through canyons with cold water (like the narrows in utah) where it is very cold & waters hiked through can get deep.I also like the zipper…. Sturdy & easy to zip/unzip, which is great for paddling when i get too hot…. Can unzip or take the top off as needed. Zipper does not dig into my neck either…. It is the appropriate length. Very sturdy. Haven’t tried in water yet but i am sure it will be perfect for my needs. Overall, 100 percent happy with this purchase and i am very picky when it comes to paddler gear!

GoldFin 2mm Wetsuit Jacket, long sleeve Neoprene.There are things I like about this and things that annoy me.I swim in a chlorine pool and I am aware this will be hard on neoprene and this jacket will deteriorate faster because of this. I rinse it very thoroughly will fresh cool water. Then I soak it in a 5 gallon bucket (about half full of fresh water). I live in Florida so I hang it inside out to dry on my screened porch keeping it out of sun and rain. Once the inside is dry I flip it right side out and let that side dry. I live in Florida and have a screened porch where I can hang it out or light and any rain. It takes a day to dry the each side. 2 days total.I've been using this for a while now wearing it on top of my long sleeve rash guard. And I noticed from the very start that there was some mild flushing at my wrists, neck and stomach area. With the stomach area riding up a little as I swim. But it kept me plenty warm.Today I decided to skip the rash guard undershirt to see how the wetsuit jacket felt without it.Flush flush flush. While I was swimming hard it did not bother me and it certainly is warmer to wear it than to not wear it, but once I ended my session with pool stretches I started to get cold.The top of the zipper by the neck is irritating after several minutes of swimming when I skip the rash guard. So I will go back to wearing it with the rash guard to prevent irritation and stay warmer.Fit :Because the wetsuit jacket flushes as much as it does I suspect the fit is not right for me. However I cannot imagine getting my arms into a smaller size without serious arm movement restrictions. And there is bunching in the underarm area. It is tolerable but again, suggests the fit is off.Overall I like it and it's keeping me in the pool as the temps cool down. But maybe next time I'll try the smaller size or I might look elsewhere for one that has less bunching under the arms.For now I'm giving it 4 stars.

I am very happy with this purchase. I use it in many types of water classes such as water step aerobics, water Zumba, water bootcamp and a number of other classes. The pool is always colder than is comfortable for me, and this jacket keeps me warm. I wear it very often, and it is hold up quite well. The sleeves are tight at the wrists to keep the water out, as is the bottom of the jacket. The one thing I will say is that it is a tight fit and I did order a size larger than my normal size, and it is still snug. I realize that it is supposed to fit tight, but I am glad I ordered the size larger.
