Sharkskin Titanium 2 Vest with Hood (Women's)

For divers who want extra warmth at the head and core, the women's Sharkskin Titanium 2 Vest with Hood covers both in one piece. It combines a T2 vest with an attached hood, and Sharkskin rates the Titanium 2 range as primary exposure protection in water down to 68° F (20° C). Wear it alone on warm water dives or underneath a wetsuit when the temperature drops.

Layering and Material Details

Most divers will use this piece as a layer under a wetsuit. It adds warmth tested equivalent to 5mm neoprene to your torso and head without adding sleeves, which keeps your arms free inside the suit.

The warmth comes from Sharkskin's Chillproof fabric with titanium nanoparticles embedded in it to hold more body heat. Inside, a hollow yarn fleece warms the water that sits against your skin. A one-way membrane in the middle shields you from wind and water on the surface and still lets moisture wick away, which is welcome when you are sitting on a breezy boat. The outer nylon/lycra blend has four-way stretch, and its abrasion-resistant face carries a water-repellent finish.

Women's Sizing

Choose from US0 through US16. Because the hood is part of the vest, the fit should feel close through the torso and comfortable around your face and neck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I wear the women's Titanium 2 hooded vest over or under a wetsuit?

Wear it under the wetsuit. The vest sits against your skin so the hollow yarn fleece can warm the water next to your body.

Can I wear the hooded vest by itself?

Yes, in water down to 68° F (20° C). Sharkskin rates the Titanium 2 range as primary exposure protection at that temperature.

Does the hood come off?

The hood is built into the vest, so the two are worn together as one piece.
