Sharkskin Chillproof Hooded Vest (Men's)

The Sharkskin Chillproof Hooded Vest gives men a warm core layer with an attached hood, made to wear under a wetsuit when the water turns cold or a winter dive calls for more warmth. Out of the water, it is Sharkskin's go-to Chillproof piece for paddle, power and board sports, worn alone or paired with a Rapid Dry short or long sleeve top.

Layering It for Diving and Watersports

Chillproof is a three-layer composite built for the water, and Sharkskin rates its warmth close to a 2.5 to 3mm neoprene wetsuit. Under a wetsuit, the vest takes the chill off without restricting your movement. On a paddleboard or jet ski, it blocks windchill on its own.

• Large arm sockets so your arms move freely
• Low-cut neckline that protects the core
• 100% windproof membrane, breathable to 10K+, so you stay warm without overheating
• Hollow fiber fleece next to the skin that wicks moisture
• UPF50+ protection and a DWR finish that sheds water

Men's Sizing

Men's sizes run SML through 5XL in Black. The generous arm openings let you size for a close fit through the torso without losing any shoulder movement. Sharkskin also makes a women's cut and junior sizes for ages 4 and up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear the Chillproof Hooded Vest under my wetsuit?

Yes. Sharkskin designed it as a second layer under a wetsuit for scuba diving and snorkeling in colder water or in winter.

What should I wear with a Sharkskin hooded vest?

A Sharkskin Rapid Dry short or long sleeve top is a natural pairing for paddle, power and board sports. The vest also layers with other Sharkskin garments for extra insulation.

Is the Chillproof Hooded Vest neutrally buoyant?

Yes. Chillproof is neutrally buoyant, so you should not need to add weight when diving in it.
