So with summer coming on in my part of the globe it's back into the outdoors for swimming, which also sometimes means sunburn for me, so I would like to cover my top half (not worried about sleeves). Does anyone know of a trisuit that is made for use in chlorinated water? I would prefer to go one piece over two, but will look at whatever's available. I have had a reasonable search, but no luck yet.

Although it's skin tight, I'm sure there's a little drag but it's better than sunscreen. Mine's made by O'Neill.

I've so far discovered the speedo slim fit sun top, which is made out of their endurance fabric, same as my togs. Will probably end up going with that. I just hope it doesn't leave a gap at the waist. That's why I'm looking for a one piece, in the past rashies have ridden up on me, so I'm still prone to a burn strip.

I just use waterproof spray sunscreen.

It just doesn't seem to last for me :( I haven't yet splashed out on the really expensive stuff that's supposed to last 8 hours though, the prices I have seen mean that a rashie is actually a cheaper option, and I'm not worried about leaving an oil slick in the pool. What product do you use?

I use the Neutrogena Wet Skin spray - I use it for my open water swimming in the bay and also for my arms/legs on the bike and run. Used it yesterday after a crazy hot/humid 3hr bike ride where I was sweating like crazy and no sunburn minus a small spot I missed on the back of my arm because I was in a hurry. I think the "wet skin" is a new product this year... may have come out late last year. Previous spray suncreens I've used didn't cut it but this one seems to do the trick.
