Does anyone know of a full body (wrist to ankle) suit made out of a fabric that lasts a long time? Preferably not several hundred dollars - I'm looking for coverage not speed in competition. I would like something for open water that would prevent sunburn and minimize jellyfish stings. No matter how much sunblock I put on I burn on a long swim during the day, and the jellyfish are everywhere right now.

I'm a little dubious of the unisex sizing, my hips are only slightly larger than my waist whereas the Keifer sizing chart gives a 44" hip for a 32" waist...
If I could find a "long" long sleeved rash guard that would be good enough, I have a full leg suit I could use with it. In Sardinia I only had the choice between a large shirt, which was way too large around the chest, and a medium which fit my torso nicely but wasn't long enough to stay tucked into my suit giving me a nice burn across my lower back. The large was awful to swim in but that's what I ended up in as my burn got progressively worse.
I went for a swim out front tonight, with just jammers, and the number of jellyfish was down but the ones that were there were about twice the size! Last week the water was much colder and the jellyfish were smaller and the stings didn't hurt too much, whether it was the warmer water or the bigger jellyfish the stings hurt a lot more tonight. :eek: Still, it was a nice way to end the day.
