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.
Less than 2% of UV gets through
That is what the UPF 50+ rating means, tested and certified to the Australian standard AS/NZS 4399:1996. Suncream rubs off in the water. This swimsuit's sun protection stays, because it is woven into the fibres and the weave rather than a chemical finish.
A short sleeve swimsuit with legs
With short sleeves and legs to just above the knee, it covers the shoulders, upper arms, back and thighs that an ordinary swimsuit leaves bare, while your forearms and knees stay free to move.
Keeps its shape, swim after swim
This chlorine resistant short sleeve swimsuit is made for regular pool swimming and the sea, and it keeps its shape and colour session after session.
It is thin, light and breathable, keeps its full UPF 50+ rating when wet and dries quickly, so it is comfortable to keep on all day.

What customers ask us
What is it made of?
This UPF 50+ short sleeve sunsuit is made from Stingray's Italian fabric, 53% polyester and 47% PBT. It is thin and light, unlined, with no built-in shelf bra. The UV protection is woven into the fibre and the weave, so it cannot wash out.
Will it keep its shape after regular pool swimming?
Yes. The fabric is chlorine resistant and made for regular pool and saltwater swimming without losing its shape or fading. Rinse it in clean water after each swim and dry it in the shade.
Which size should I order if I am between two sizes?
The larger one. Check your front-crotch-back length as well as your chest: in a one-piece the length matters most, so if it points to a bigger size than your chest, go with the length.
Is it comfortable enough to wear all day?
Yes. It is thin, breathable and light and fits close like a swimsuit, so you can swim in it and stay in it on the beach afterwards. The short sleeves keep your forearms free.
Can I surf in it?
Yes, it works as a short sleeve swimsuit for surfing as well as swimming. It stays close to the body, resists saltwater, keeps its full UPF 50+ rating when wet and dries quickly.
Do I still need suncream?
Only on the skin it leaves bare: face, ears, neck above the collar, forearms, hands, lower legs and feet. Reapply after swimming. Skin under the suit needs none.
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.
