THERMAL FLEX LONG SLEEVE (WOMEN'S)

This was exactly what I needed and did better than I expected

Every year my swim team does a 2-mile swim across the Rappahannock River on Memorial Day weekend. The river is temperature is still cold so most of my teammates will wear a wet suit. I hate wet suits, refuse to wear one which makes my husband complain nonstop about swimming in the cold temperatures. He carried on so bad last year that I didn't do the swim, I only had a swim shirt (which I would have been okay because others did the same thing and made it across). This year the conditions looked like it would be the same. I saw the sharkskin advertisement on FB and thought this might work! I told my husband that I order a "special wet suit" that had special technology which would not bother me like a traditional wet suit. When received it, I saw that it was still pretty thin but thicker than a swim shirt so I had some doubts that it would actually work. I kept telling my husband it was "a special wet suit". The day of the swim it was cold and cloudy. It had also rained for several days. I thought for sure it would be a cold swim but after doing a couple of strokes I felt the warmth in arms and my upper thighs (where the material was hitting my skin directly). I was shocked on how well it worked. My next purchase will be full length pants. This a great product and well worth the price.
