Sharkskin Chillproof Pogies
Sharkskin Chillproof Pogies are a type of hand protection gear that are designed specifically for watersports activities in extremely cold conditions.
The hands are one of the most vulnerable parts of the body when it comes to heat loss, and pogies help to prevent this by wrapping around the hands and trapping heat inside.
The pogies are made of Chillproof, which is a 3-layer composite material that is windchill-proof and has thermal properties similar to a 2.5 to 3mm neoprene wetsuit.
However, Sharkskin Chillproof Pogies have the advantage of not having many of the drawbacks of traditional wetsuits, such as added bulkiness and difficulty moving around.
They can be worn alone as thermal wear or layered with other Sharkskin garments for added warmth and insulation.
The Chillproof material used in the pogies features a 100% windproof and 10K+ breathable membrane, which stops windchill from affecting the hands and keeps them warm while also regulating body temperature to prevent overheating. The hollow fibre ‘next to skin’ fleece provides warmth, comfort, and superior moisture-wicking properties, while the durable water repellent (DWR) finish provides a protective shell that ‘sheds’ water.
Other features of the Sharkskin Chillproof Pogies include their 4-way stretch, which ensures that they are non-restrictive and allow a full range of movement. They are also non-chaffing, itch and odour-resistant, which means that they can be worn for long periods of time without causing discomfort. The durable seam thread resists deterioration in saltwater, ensuring that the garment will last longer. Additionally, they are neutrally buoyant, meaning there is no need to add extra weight when diving, and they offer SPF50+ sun protection to avoid skin damage and melanoma.
Sharkskin Chillproof Pogies are ideal for a range of watersports activities, such as scuba diving, snorkelling, jet skiing, paddle watersports, board watersports, wind watersports, sailing, and many others. They are designed to last, as Sharkskin sources the world’s most technically advanced materials and uses the best manufacturing techniques to create garments that are built to withstand the rigours of watersports activities. They are also eco-friendly, with Sharkskin minimising waste in manufacturing and using biodegradable and compostable packaging bags. Finally, Sharkskin offers a 2-year guarantee on workmanship, ensuring that their products will perform as advertised.
