More than 25% of body heat is lost through the head and extremities of the body. The Sharkskin Sleeveless Vest with hood design provides the best insulation and protection for colder dives. The hood protects against chaffing from mask straps, keeps your head and ears toasty warm, and is flexible enough to slide off if required, while still remaining comfortable. The hood allows better hearing and less chance of ear squeeze than traditional neoprene hoods. This combination is idealy worn under a wetsuit for extra thermal protection
The Chillproof material is made from 3 layers to provide you with unparalleled warmth from the quick drying fleece in the first layer, wind and water protection from the middle layer and SPF30 sun protection from the top layer

How it works
- The comfortable hollow yarn fleece layer is next to the skin and wicks moisture and sweat away from the body to help keep youdry.
- The second middle technical layer is 100% windproof yet breathes to regulate body temperature while stopping windchill.
- The third outer layer is a nylon/lycra blend for abrasion resistance and 4 way stretch. It is also UV resistant for sun protectionand has a durable water repellent finish (DWR) to provide a protective shell that sheds water.
