Description
A women's long sleeve UV sunsuit that covers your arms, shoulders, back and body in one piece, with a high zip-up collar and legs that finish just above the knee.

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.
Sun protection built into the fabric
The UPF 50+ rating is tested and certified to the Australian standard AS/NZS 4399:1996. Less than 1 in 50 UV rays get through, which helps protect your skin from sunburn, premature ageing and long-term damage.
It comes from the fibres and the density of the weave rather than a chemical finish, so it cannot wash out, however often you wash it.
A swimsuit with arms
Most swimsuits leave the shoulders, arms and back in full sun. This swimsuit with arm coverage has long sleeves, a high zip-up collar and legs to just above the knee, so your upper body and thighs stay under certified fabric in and out of the water.
Comfortable enough to keep on all day
The fabric is thin and flexible and fits close like a swimsuit, so you can swim or surf in the morning and stay in it through lunch and the walk home.
It resists chlorine and saltwater, keeps its full UPF 50+ rating when wet and dries quickly.

What customers ask us
Is it comfortable enough to wear all day at the beach?
Yes. This Stingray swimsuit is thin, light and breathable, closer to activewear than a wetsuit, and it fits close like a swimsuit, so it is easy to keep on from the first swim to the walk home.
What is it made of?
The Stingray long sleeve sunsuit is made from Italian fabric, 53% polyester and 47% PBT, certified UPF 50+ to AS/NZS 4399:1996. It is a single unlined layer.
My chest and body length are in different sizes. Which should I order?
Take the larger size. Front-crotch-back length decides whether a one-piece fits, so if your length puts you a size above your chest, go with the length.
Can I surf and swim in the sea in it?
Yes. It resists chlorine and saltwater, keeps its full UPF 50+ rating when wet and dries quickly, and the long sleeves keep your arms and shoulders covered while you paddle.
Do I still need suncream?
Not on the skin it covers. Clothing is rated in UPF rather than SPF, so if you were searching for an SPF long sleeve swimsuit, UPF 50+ is the rating to look for. Use suncream on your face, ears, neck above the collar, hands, lower legs and feet, and reapply after swimming. A UPF 50+ sun hat covers the head.
Will the UV protection wash out?
No. It 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.
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.
