FACTORY SECONDS are brand new and come with full SHARKSKIN factory warranty. At Sharkskin we have very high standards when it comes to our finished products and our Quality Control Team occasionally rejects finished products due to small production errors or imperfections. As a result we accumulate factory seconds which are new products with minor imperfections or cosmetic issues such as stitching or logo imperfections. 

Factory Seconds are identified with a small green stitch inside the garment that identifies them as having been sold as a Factory Second and our warranty excludes the cosmetic imperfections that makes them a factory second.  

Sharkskin R-Series Longsleeve top is designed to increase circulation and blood flow with full-torso, arm and shoulder compression to help promote muscle efficiency and minimise muscle fatigue. Form-fitting, shape-stretch design for superior muscle support and stability with extra underarm and lower back panel mesh ventilation panels for breathability where needed. Inbuilt posture correction straps to help maintain posture for better performance and recovery. Non-stitch fused seams in the wrists to avoid fraying and provide a firmer fit for comfort.

Great compression longsleeve top for all paddle and board watersports, multisport, adventure sport, obstacle course racing or just kicking back and recovering from a hard workout on the water.

Can also be used under other Sharkskin garments to combine the extra warmth and insulation with the extra performance boost from R-Series compression.

About R-Series Compression

Sharkskin R-Series Compression is a powerful yet lightweight and breathable ‘Compression’ range that also includes Titanium Far-Infrared (TiFIR) technology for an extra boost in warmth and performance.

Sharkskin R-Series Compression increases blood circulation and provides extra support and efficiency to muscles. It also has the unique addition of Liquid Titanium technology. This innovation is a result of titanium nanoparticles being permanently infused into the fabric’s thread to produce ‘far-infrared’ (FIR) radiation from the athletes own body heat. The result is a ‘double-up’ of benefits to provide compression plus FIR radiation, for an extra boost in performance and an increase in muscle recovery far beyond what normal compression garments can offer.

R-Series Compression is ideal for training, competing and recovering from your favourite active watersports where improved performance is the goal. You can wear R-Series Compression by itself in warm air and water temperatures or ‘layered’ under other Sharkskin garments to combine extra warmth and insulation with the benefits of R-Series Compression.

R-Series Compression is typically used for active paddle watersports, board watersports, sailing and many other watersports where your muscles get a hard workout while out on the water.
