PRODUCT OVERVIEW

About this gear

This men’s Chillproof vest combines a sleeveless torso layer with an attached hood. It is intended to go underneath a wetsuit, adding coverage around the head and torso without another set of sleeves. The flexible hood can be lowered around the neck between dives.

Consider before buying

The vest leaves the arms to the outer suit. Its hood still has to fit around your mask and the rest of your equipment. Claims about hearing, ear squeeze and the proportion of heat lost through the head are not treated here as independently verified benefits.

Our take

Choose it when the missing coverage in your existing setup is around the head and torso. The long-sleeve top is the better comparison if you need arm coverage instead. No exact-model editorial overall rating was found, so neither the brand’s fabric claims nor comments about separate hoods produce a score for this vest.
