Wore the Subgear Elements Sleeveless S Black for a recent dive trip in Tioman. It kept my core warm during long dives but didn’t feel bulky at all. Really easy to layer under my wetsuit.

Is this sleeveless top suitable for snorkeling in Sentosa on its own, or do I need something extra for sun protection? I’m usually out for 2-3 hours.

Hi Nabilah, the Subgear Elements Sleeveless S Black offers good core warmth and comfort for snorkeling. For extended sun exposure, we recommend pairing it with a rash guard or applying sunscreen on exposed skin to prevent sunburn.

I like the snug fit and it dries quickly after use. Only thing is, I wish there were more size options as S is a bit tight for me. Material quality is solid, though.
