Wei Lin Tan –
I wore the Subgear Daemon Short Sleeve for my dive trip in Tioman and really liked how comfortable it was under my wetsuit. The fabric dried quickly in between dives, and I didn’t feel any chafing at all. Only small thing is that the fit is quite snug, so maybe consider going up a size if you prefer it less tight.

Arjun Pillai –
Does the Subgear Daemon Short Sleeve provide enough warmth for dives in Singapore waters, or should I use it together with a wetsuit?
Junhao Lo –
Hi Arjun, the Subgear Daemon Short Sleeve M Black is designed to offer some thermal comfort but is generally best used as a base layer under a wetsuit for warmth in Singapore waters. On its own, it provides UV and abrasion protection but limited insulation.
Aisyah Rahman –
The UPF 50+ rating is reassuring, especially for surface intervals. I wore it paddleboarding and did not get any sunburn. Feels sturdy after several washes too. Wish there were more colour options though!
