Description
A women's full length UV swimsuit that covers you in one piece, from a high zip-up collar down to the wrists and ankles. The certified UPF 50+ fabric blocks at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays, tested to the Australian standard AS/NZS 4399:1996. The protection is woven into the fibre and the weave rather than a chemical finish, so it cannot wash out or wear off.
It is a long swimming costume for women that feels like activewear: thin, soft Italian fabric that fits close like a swimsuit. It resists chlorine and saltwater, dries quickly and keeps its rating wet, which makes it a good choice for snorkelling, sea swims and long days by the pool. Sizes XL and 2XL, in five colourways.

Front–crotch–back is the measurement that matters most. It decides whether a one-piece suit fits your body length. If it puts you in a larger size than your chest or waist do, take the larger size.
How to measure
- Chest. Around the fullest part of your chest, level with your armholes, arms relaxed at your sides.
- Waist. Around the narrowest part of your middle, just above the belly button.
- Front–crotch–back. Start at the centre front of your neckline, run the tape straight down your body, between your legs, and up to the centre back of your neckline.
- Keep the tape snug but not tight, and breathe normally.
No tape measure? Use a piece of string, mark where it meets, then measure the string against a ruler.
Only 1 in 50 UV rays gets through
That is the UPF 50+ rating, tested and certified to the Australian standard AS/NZS 4399:1996: sun protection that helps guard your skin against sunburn, premature ageing and long-term damage.
The protection is woven in, from the fibres and the density of the weave rather than a chemical finish, so there is nothing to wash out and nothing to reapply.
Collar to ankle in one piece
A rash top and swim leggings can part at the waist when you dive or reach. This full length swimming costume runs from a high zip-up collar to the wrists and ankles, so your arms, back and legs stay under certified fabric the whole time you are in the water.
Made for long snorkels and sea swims
The Stingray full body sunsuit is thin and soft and fits close like a swimsuit, so you can swim, snorkel or sit out on the sand in it for hours without the weight of a wetsuit.
It resists chlorine and saltwater, keeps its full UPF 50+ rating when wet and dries quickly once you are out.

What customers ask us
Does it cover my legs down to the ankle?
Yes. The legs reach the ankle and the sleeves reach the wrist, with a high zip-up collar at the top. It isn't quite a head to ankle swimsuit, because there is no hood and the hands and feet are left uncovered. Add a UPF 50+ sun hat for your head.
Will it protect me from jellyfish stings?
On the skin it covers, yes. That is what a stinger suit is for: the fabric is a physical barrier between jellyfish or other marine stingers and your arms, body and legs. Your face, hands and feet, and your neck above the collar, are still exposed.
Which parts still need suncream?
Only the skin the suit leaves bare: face, ears, neck above the collar, hands and feet. You don't need suncream under the suit. Reapply on the uncovered areas after swimming.
What is it made of, and will the UV protection wash out?
Stingray's Italian fabric, a blend of 53% polyester and 47% PBT, thin and lightweight like activewear. The protection is woven into the fibre and the weave rather than a chemical finish, so there is nothing to wash out or wear off. Rinse in clean water after swimming, wash cold on a gentle cycle and dry in the shade.
Should I take XL or 2XL?
Go by your front-crotch-back length: XL is 158 to 165 cm and 2XL is 167 to 172 cm. If that puts you in a larger size than your chest measurement, or you are between the two, take 2XL.
Can I snorkel in the sea in it?
Yes, it is a women's full body swimsuit for snorkelling as much as swimming. The fabric resists chlorine and saltwater, keeps its full UPF 50+ rating when wet and dries quickly. It covers your back and the backs of your legs, which face the sun for as long as you are face down in the water.
Is it suitable for skin cancer patients or a medical condition?
Yes. Certified UPF 50+ cover is often recommended after skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma, and for autoimmune conditions such as lupus, scleroderma and dermatomyositis, photosensitivity conditions such as actinic keratosis and vitiligo, genetic conditions such as EPP, ichthyoses and Bloom syndrome, and during chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunosuppressive treatment. We cannot give medical advice, so follow your dermatologist or consultant on how much cover you need.
