No they don't only some models do, but with my case I am just going to ditch the suit.

Any case the good news is the "true" open cell does not have any type of cover, in fact based on what I've read in this forum they are actually warmer, and I don't have any skin problem with those (I have two other picasso suit without the filling) , hopefully that would your case as well.

The way I use my suit, is I put it on when I go in the boat to avoid sun burn, and I take it out when I leave the boat only, so it stays on the whole day.

Our skin problem cannot deal with the thermic ink (I assume it is ink), I would just sell that suit and buy one without the thermic filling. Picasso has several, but so the other brands.
