Stinger season hits different in North Australia. One minute the water looks crystal clear. The next, you’ve got invisible marine stingers drifting through the shallows.

That’s why we created Salty Goods stinger suits for the whole family.

Our full body stinger suits are designed for long boat days, sandbars, island missions and salty little kids who practically live in the ocean all summer. Made with lightweight UPF50+ fabric and full length coverage, they help create a strong physical barrier during marine stinger season without the heavy, hot feel of neoprene.

We’ve engineered our fabric with a tight weave and smooth outer surface designed to help reduce marine stingers adhering to the material in the water.

From box jellyfish to Irukandji, marine stingers are one of the biggest hidden dangers in tropical Australian waters. Our stinger suits are designed to help families stay protected while still soaking up everything we love about life on the water.

Built for beaches, boats, reefs, creek mouths and North Queensland adventures. Because the ocean’s better when everyone can jump in.
