Review of sharkstop.co/ wetsuit.
Primarily using it for foiling (wing foiling), protection from shark bites and sharp foils.
The other wetsuit mentioned and shown in the video is my all favourite mystic majestic in terms of fit and feel.
Update:
After like 15 sessions, the suit is failing apart, pretty much every connection (stitching) is teared/ripped. Sent mine 3.5 months ago for "repairs" (not sure what can be done, the whole suit would need to be re-done), still waiting, support says probably another 2 months wait time until they start addressing the repairs. Unless something has changed with manufacturing (the way they do the fabrics connections/stitching) I wouldn't be getting one.
Too bad, the idea is great, the execution needs a lot of improvements. For the current price listed on their website, one could get 2 premium wetsuits that would last ~4 years, + a few sharkbandz magnets.
Sharkbanz does not work
@@extremisttotheextremeantid7554 do you have any proof or just speculation?
@@extremisttotheextremeantid7554ocean guardian apparently does tho, to an extent anyway
Pity hope they manage to overcome the manufacturer problems
3:03 did they ever repair or fix your wetsuit?
That screw driver test was very impressive probably similar shape to a shark tooth but the steel screw drive would be even stronger that tooth I imagine. Very cool
Thanks for testing, I’m still waiting for my order but now I know what to expect ✌🏼
Haydon here the inventor, sorry for the hold up the factory is going so hard to get orders out, doing our best
@@haydonburford338 Hi Haydon, quick question about the suit. Ive seen footage of it stopping a knife penetrating even with a forceful stabbing motion, were you surprised that the knife penetrated so easily in this review?
@@liamrmorgans921 Hello Liam, not surprised as stainless knives will cut through much easier than real teeth. Remembering the pressure of a bite is dispersed over an area by many teeth. The armour is designed to greatly reduce damage compared to normal neoprene.
It will stop the horrific tearing muscles and arteries from the bone.
Yes, I agree about the neck & chest zip, definitely too small & narrow. I'm a surfer & found it flexible enough to undertake manoeuvres. After two hours surfing I did find my arms were a bit sorer due to heaviness of the suit.
However, overall I found it suited my needs.
One suit has shown up and I’m waiting on the other! But had a white shark encounter in November 2022 at Abrolhos Islands and didn’t have the suits! So I’m waiting for other for the 2023 season! Thanks for sharing your thoughts 💯👍🏼🙏🏼
What happened to the suit? No responses from them and they have discontinued the spearfishing diving model. Very disappointed.
The suit is gone, like I mentioned in my earlier comment every fabric connection (stitching) is teared/ripped.
Pretty crazy. Do you see a lot of sharks while foiling?
In the past 3+ years in this area I *think* I've seen only once, way smaller specimen, something like bronzie.
Is the whole thing made out of the shark stop material? it looks like neoprene in a lot of places or is that just stuck on top of the material?
No, only the silver-ish part is made out of the shark stop material.
@@SilverFoilSurfer According to the company ( I just messaged them) they aim to protect the main attack areas. I guess the neoprene areas are not as vital or as often bit. Pity there is not more protective material but they say it would be too stiff if it used more. I am sure it will still save lives all the same. A great invention.
What about the material on the joints region? Is it strong too?
No, it's just normal neoprene from what I remember.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
shark suit and sharkbanz? been bit before?
Not yet, just not eager to experience it
i dont need a suit to beat down a shark i just use my barehands
