Sharkskin Titanium 2 Vest Full Zip (Men's)

The men's Sharkskin Titanium 2 Vest Full Zip puts T2 warmth on your core while leaving your arms free. It works well as a core layer under a wetsuit when the water turns cooler, and Sharkskin rates the Titanium 2 range as primary exposure protection in water down to 68° F (20° C). The full zip makes it simple to open up on a hot boat ride and close again before you splash in.

The Fabric Behind the Vest

Sharkskin tested Titanium 2 as equivalent to 5mm neoprene. The vest gets that performance from a layered build:

• Chillproof fabric embedded with titanium nanoparticles that capture more body heat
• A hollow yarn fleece against your skin that holds water and warms it
• A one-way membrane that blocks wind and water on the surface and lets moisture wick away
• A nylon/lycra outer layer with four-way stretch
• An abrasion-resistant face with a water-repellent finish

Men's Fit and Size Range

This vest comes in nine men's sizes, from XSM all the way to 5XL. Wear it snug so the fleece stays against your skin. If you plan to layer it under a wetsuit, keep in mind that the suit will fit a little tighter over the vest.
