Sharkskin Chillproof is an aquatic specific, windproof 3-layer composite material with the thermal properties of a 2.5 to 3 mm neoprene wetsuit that will keep you cool when it’s hot and warm when it’s cold - in, on and under the water. It's neutrally buoyant, flexible and super comfortable. The second layer is a 10,000 plus technical membrane that stops windchill and "breathes" to prevent overheating. The 'next to skin' layer is a high tech hollow fibre fleece that retains water and keep you comfortable. How does it work? When submerged the hollow fibre fleece is designed to absorb and hold water and prevent water flushing through the suit. Your body heats the water which provides a barrier against the cold water outside of the suit. The high loft hollow fleece holds air which your body heats to keep you warm with minimal bulk. These 100% Chillproof Long Pants are the ideal water sports apparel that can be used with a top, under a Drysuit, or by themselves as the ultimate in thermal wear. Sharkskin Chillproof is ideal for all water sports and also as a second layer under wetsuits for surfers and ocean swimmers.

I love this brand for the following reasons:
You will LOVE these, once you get the sizing right. Sharkskin sizing is crazy wrong when they estimate US sizes. Just go strictly by the inches part of the chart. You'll end up selecting a "US" size which seems really really really wrong/small (e.g., a 16/18 US woman will end up in pants labeled 8 or 10 "US" --- but it will fit. Just use the inches as a guide and ignore the class sizing. (Ironically, the Aussie sizes aren't all that far off reality (but tend towards the somewhat larger end). Also, Sharkskin makes their women's suits --- wait for it --- to ACTUALLY FIT WOMEN!!! Amazing. There is space for your chest, your booty, and your calves.I love this brand for the following reasons: (a) cut to fit a woman's body; (b) generous sizing (BUT, see above); (c) a non-neoprene suit that doesn't compress under pressure, and yet functions like a 2-3mm wetsuit; and (d) WAIT FOR -- is machine washable!. Win all around. Love the brand, love the quality, just wish they could get the sizing issues straightened out.

truly neutral- fit is strange but i love it!
i love it, but the fit is strange. I had to buy 2 size smaller than what i normally wear. (i wear a size 12 and bought a size 8). it fits well untill i get to my legs (calf area) and become a little loose.been thinking that I want to take it to a taylor and make it "fit better". I dove in colder conditions (68-72oF) winter florida waters and I was perfectly warm, now I am not the one that gets really cold easily underwater. it behaves like a 3 mm suit with out having to add all that extra weight. it is truly neutral.

Finally!
Have been looking for fleece lined gear to wear while SCUBA diving in what is considered warm water. I prefer two-piece but these are also available in one-piece. These will not add buoyancy so no extra lead needed! Caution: Take care selecting size. Go by weight and read carefully.... worked for me. I would recommend this seller and this gear.

Awesome but cut very small. Im 5'5" 135 needed xl, maybe could've been L. Used for multiple days of diving in low 80s but 100' warm enough. Also Awesome under my neoprene dry suit in 40 degrees

These are very easy to use and excellent insulator
These are my new favorite for diving! I love the warmth and comfort of these pants! They are easy to move in and are very comfortable. They dry out fairly quickly and are easy to get on and off. I would rather dive in these than in a full wetsuit! The ease of use and comfort are unmatched so far for me!

If you are buying these pants check your size ---go by the measurements not the size.

Check and RECHECK SIZING!
A little larger than expected, but had them shortened, hoping for perfection when we hit the open water, just a bit long...
