HOW IT WORKS
It’s a physics paradox - comfortable materials offer little protection, protective materials offer little comfort. irønskinn’s internationally patented and patent pending assemblies combine the world's strongest, lightest and flexible materials, to create world leading levels of protection and mobility.
Only irønskinn’s armor assemblies have been developed over a decade and rigorously tested in the lab by a worldclass team of ocean experts. All materials have been proven to work in both the lab, and in the field, with the world's three most aggressive shark species: Great Whites, Bulls & Tigers.
01 / ULTRA TOUGH
Dive Armør plates are tougher than teeth, breaking shark teeth in laboratory conditions
Surf Armør has been tested with multiple shark species, and has yet to be penetrated by a bite - a first in the world.
02 / LIGHTWEIGHT
Our Dive Armør is approximately half standard dive weight in the water, and suits can be tailored to buoyant neutral.
Our Surf Armør is so light it’s buoyant, which provides added safety in strong surf.
03 / FLEXIBLE
Dive Armør is currently utilized by professional divers in strenuous work, offering complete mobility for the hardest tasks - unlike traditional chainmail
Our Surf Armør is highly elastic and flexible, allowing for the highest levels of performance in all ocean sports and activities.
Surf Armør® Features
01 / ULTRA TOUGH
Tested with multiple shark species,
Surf Armør has yet to be penetrated by a bite - a first in the world. The outer layer is cut resistant and 15x stronger than steel by weight - will protect you from reeeef or foil cuts.

OUR STORY
Our team has been developing shark resistant materials and assemblies for over a decade.
After hundreds of prototypes and
thousands of configurations, we have developed and patented garments and assemblies that fully resist puncture and cutting*, while remaining highly mobile.
Currently, we are partnered with the prestigious Helmrich Research Center in the USA, and continue to work with world-class shark experts.
Our passion for constant development brings you the best solutions.
Our founders are ocean sport enthusiasts, and caring fathers. Our business foundation is simple, we love the ocean, and want to protect what we love. By protecting people from sharks, we are protecting sharks from people.
OUR VISION
We aim to create the most protective, and most mobile garments in the world, and we are committed to caring for the ocean environment, and for humans and sharks alike.
Protect your: self, family, business,
adventure...
Protect your world™ with irønskinn.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
Top Shark Tested™ – Only irønskinn garments and assemblies have been tested with the world's Top 3 most aggressive sharks: Great Whites, Bulls, and Tigers.
Tested to 0 punctures - only irønskinn garments have been able to demonstrate ZERO puncture or cutting through the assembly*.
Patented - Our patented and patent pending garments and assemblies are made from some of the lightest and strongest materials on earth.
All Weather - our garments are designed to be worn alone in warm conditions, or over a wetsuit in cooler conditions. Your irønskinn serves you year round through all seasons and temperatures.
STORIES
Tyronne is based in Port Lincoln South Australia and appreciates that his irønskinn suit keeps him comfortable and level on the bottom of the ocean when he is working, which improves his efficiency.
Andre is one of the most in demand in water camera operators in Australia. He is often in the water with sharks while they're feeding - the irønskinn suit provides him & his support staff with some protection whilst they are working in the ocean.
John lives in New Zealand and recently completed a 2km ocean swim wearing irønskinn surf armør. John likes that his irønskinn is buoyant, flexible, and provides greater confidence while in the open ocean.
Stuart approached irønskinn after two
aggressive encounters with Bull Sharks whilst working underwater in Queensland Australia.
Irønskinn worked with Stuart and his team to create a custom suit.
Callum is a second generation professional abalone diver in South Western Australia. His irønskinn gives him greater "peace of mind" in the ocean and has been customized to allow him to remove the sleeves.
