Does anyone know where I can get one of these?

It's for a couple of reasons

so I don't have to bother with sun cream on my arms and legs if I'm going for a cheeky sail after work

and more importantly

for the jellies

Have you tried a long sleeve rash vest under a spring suit? I have used one with a steamer where I have cut the forearms off (I hate the constriction on my forearms), and it kept me warm and I guess it also kept the sun off.

Funnily enough, the legs are much less likely to get sunburnt. Why is that?

Why don't you have a long sleeve rashy and a pair of skins for the legs

cos I got stung through a rashy the other week... was waterstarting and I found a jelly against my chest... very difficult to move upwind with both hands on the boom

and I don't want to wear anything more than the minimum cos it gets too hot on the beach

water is 24C. don't want to get too sweaty. As someone from the cold north, you wouldn't understand.

There is no market for such a suit here in Vic so you won't find one on the racks

Radiator do a 0.5mm full suit and a 1.5mm full suit.
