Sharkskin Titanium 2 Vest with Hood (Men's)

The men's Sharkskin Titanium 2 Vest with Hood pairs a T2 core layer with an attached hood, so your torso and head are covered in one piece. Divers often reach for a hooded vest like this when a wetsuit alone starts to feel thin, and Sharkskin rates the Titanium 2 range as primary exposure protection in water down to 68° F (20° C). Having the hood built in also means one less separate item to forget on the boat.

What the Titanium 2 Material Does

Sharkskin tested Titanium 2 as equivalent to 5mm neoprene for thermal protection. The fabric is built in layers on top of Sharkskin's Chillproof material.

• Inner hollow yarn fleece holds a layer of water next to your skin and warms it.
• A one-way membrane keeps wind and water out on the surface while wicking moisture away.
• The nylon/lycra outer layer offers four-way stretch with abrasion resistance and a water-repellent finish.
• Titanium nanoparticles embedded in the Chillproof base help the whole piece retain heat.

Men's Sizing

Men's sizes run SML through 5XL. Since the hood and vest are one piece, the size you choose affects both the torso and the hood fit, so go with the size that feels snug through the chest and comfortable around your face and neck. If you plan to wear it under a wetsuit, allow for the extra layer when checking your suit size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear the Titanium 2 Vest with Hood under my wetsuit?

Yes. It layers under a wetsuit to add T2 warmth at your core and head, which helps extend a suit into cooler water.

Is the hood attached to the vest?

Yes. The hood is part of the vest, so you get head and torso coverage in a single piece.
