I know this is an old thread but I've been looking for the same thing and recently found this: http://www.bloquv.com/turtleneck/ No idea if it is durable, and it is women's cut which may not work for the OP. I've been looking for both neck and hand coverage for kiting (and snorkeling etc) for a long...
