Ok so after having learned about the possibiliy of getting stung by boxed jellyfish on Koh Samui (albeit a marginal chance), I hang around the pool and am reluctant to wade the real waters.

My stinger suit keeps hands, feet and head uncovered, so how's that any help when cutting right through those lethal tentacles with my fingers?

Wouldn't I also need to wear gloves, socks and a hoody? What I am trying to say is: if I am not 100% covered by some kind of fabric, couldn't I just as well leave it off completely?

I believe www.stingersuits.com come with gloves, socks and a hood... All it leaves unprotected is your face, which is bad enough if you swim into a boxie.
