We estimate beachgoers are more than 1000x likely to get stung by a stingray than get bitten by a shark. We make stingray protection to help keep you safer at the beach.
Introducing
Backed by engineering and testing, Achilles Heels is covered with 85% stingray resistant materials* to help protect you from stingrays
We tested dozens of materials against stingray stings & most didn't hold up. We use curated materials to help protect against Round Stingray stings so you can focus less on stingrays & more on the beach. Learn more in our Testing Methods.
Achilles Heels not only offers stingray-resistance, but is also comfortable to wear. Our patent pending, dual-layer design balances fit, durability, & stingray resistance.
With every purchase of DragonSkin, we give back 1% of net income to nonprofits dedicated to the well-being of our oceans & the people who use them.
