Nurul Aini –
Used this Aropec rashguard for snorkeling in Pulau Tioman, very pleased with the lightweight feel and sun protection. Only wish the sleeves were a bit longer as my wrists got a bit exposed, but overall very comfortable and easy to wear even when wet.

Is this jacket suitable to wear under a full wetsuit for extra warmth during early morning dives?
Imran Hanafiah –
Hi Wei Jun, yes, the 1mm Aropec Swimming Jacket Rashguard is designed to be layered under a wetsuit and will provide additional warmth without restricting your movement. It’s a good choice for cooler mornings or longer dives.
Samantha Chua –
Very satisfied with the jacket, fits well and dries fast after pool training. The flatlock seams really do help prevent chafing, which I had with my previous rashguard.
