Sharkskin Chillproof Vest (Men's)

For divers who want core warmth without anything on their arms, the men's Sharkskin Chillproof Vest is a straightforward choice. It slips under a wetsuit to take the chill off in colder water or during winter dives. Because it is sleeveless, with large armholes and a low-cut neckline, your arms and shoulders move as freely as they would without it.

Ways to Layer the Chillproof Vest

Sharkskin calls this its go-to Chillproof garment because it fits so many situations. Worn alone, it protects your core on paddle and board watersports. Paired with a Rapid Dry short or long sleeve top, it adds a second insulating layer.

According to Sharkskin, the fabric is a three-layer composite with the thermal properties of a 2.5 to 3mm neoprene wetsuit, and it adds wind protection whenever it goes under a wetsuit.

• Windproof membrane with 10K+ breathability
• Fleece lining that wicks moisture
• Neutrally buoyant
• UPF50+ sun protection

Men's Fit and Sizing

Men's sizes span SML to 5XL, in Black or Black / Blue. The wide arm openings keep the shoulder area clear, and the four-way stretch body fits close enough to sit flat under neoprene. Sharkskin also makes this vest in a women's cut and in junior sizes for ages 4 and up.
