Stinger suits are basically dive skins, but have a build-in hood which gives better protection for your neck and ears. Some have mittens (gloves) to protect your hands.

Stinger suits come in different styles, colors and sizes.

Origins

That warm tropical sun has far more burning power than most people realise. Stinger suits give you sun protection when you are on the beach or swim around.

The UV-blocking fabric covers most of your body, offering comfort and full spectrum UV protection.

Swim in Comfy Stinger Suits

Stinger suits are probably the most comfortable swimwear you can get, a great outfit for cool, warm and hot climates. Better yet they protect you from the sun's rays as well as jellyfish.

Hooded Stinger Suits are most sought after by our readers because the build-in hood fits better than addons.

Ecostinger is now shipping hooded suits worldwide from the USA. Read our Test Review for more details.

Protect Your Skin

No matter how pristine the waters are or how well-preserved the beach is, there would still be some elements out there that could potentially harm you. It could be the sun or those poisonous jellyfish, but whatever they are you would need smart clothing that can protect you from these harmful elements, like these stinger suits.

The stinging little creatures are not the only reasons why you need to wear protective clothing. The better stinger suits on the market that already have UVB and UVA sun protection from the special fabrics that were used to make them. These well-ventilated and light clothes are really meant to be worn during the day when the heat of the sun is at its peak.

Comfort

Once you get wet in this suit, it feels like build-in air-conditioning, keeping you just at the right temperature. It dries quickly in hot weather, so you may want to soak it again if you get too hot. When it gets cool, wear a hoodie or anorak on top.

You can wear your stinger suit throughout the day, without the hassle of changing clothes before and after each swim and applying sunscreens and other sun creams.

Stinger suits have no tight waistband or other tight spots. They just hug your shape comfortably. Don't wear anything underneath and it's like you wear almost nothing, a great feeling of freedom.

Swimming

You can easily go swimming in a stinger suit. Because it is lightweight, high-impact activities like swimming come easily and don't restrain fast movements. The fabric is very stretchable which is good, especially when you want to practice your breast stroke, butterfly stroke or even your back stroke.

Fabric

Most stinger suits are made of high quality soft Italian chlorine resistant fabric, which is breathable, flexible with 4 ways stretch, lightweight, and quick drying. The new generation offers chlorine resistance in sea water and chlorinated pools. Sun protection is greater than 97% of UV rays, effectively a sun rating of UPF50+.

No treatment or chemicals added to fabric of the better suits. The way fabric is tightly knitted provides protection against the sun UVA and UVB radiation all day long.

Easy Care

The best thing of all is that these are clothes that are easy to wear and maintain. They are breathable, stretchable, lightweight, and quick-drying.

After each swim rinse them carefully, don't squeeze or wring them out. Hang your suit up or wear it until it is dry.

In your luggage a stinger suit takes up as much space as two T-shirts, or half the space of a sweatshirt.

How to put on a Stinger Suit

This depends on the design. Most stinger suits include a front zipper starting from top of neck down to the waist line. Simply open zipper all the way to the end possible, insert your one leg first all the way down until your foot goes through the leg opening of the suit. Now insert the other leg all the way through the suit leg opening again.

With feet on the ground, hold the suit from both sides and pull up all the way reaching up to your waist line. Adjust the bottom part until you feel comfortable with how the suit is fitting.

Now you slide one arm all the way through the sleeve until your hand goes through the sleeve opening while at the same time bringing the suit top part over your shoulder. Do the same on the other side. Simply zip up all the way and you are ready to enjoy your suit for all type of water sports, or even for walking on the beach. Easy.
