Sharkskin Chillproof Vest (Women's)

The women's Sharkskin Chillproof Vest is a sleeveless thermal layer that keeps your core warm while leaving your arms completely free. Snorkelers and divers wear it underneath a wetsuit in colder water or winter months to take the edge off the chill. Above the water, it works well by itself on a paddle board or layered with a Rapid Dry top.

Why a Sleeveless Chillproof Layer Works

Keeping your core warm is the whole point of this vest, so the Chillproof fabric is concentrated on your torso. Sharkskin rates the fabric at the thermal properties of 2.5 to 3mm neoprene and makes it fully windproof, which helps during surface intervals and on the ride home.

• Large arm openings for full shoulder movement
• A low-cut neckline
• Soft fleece lining that resists itch and odor
• DWR outer finish that sheds water
• Neutral buoyancy, so your weights stay the same

Women's Fit and Sizing

This cut is shaped for women and runs from US0 to US16 in Black or Black / Blue. The stretch fabric is easy to get on and off and stays close to the body under a wetsuit or a second Sharkskin top.
