The Women’s Hooded Vest 5/3mm is designed to add essential warmth and thermal protection beneath an existing wetsuit without compromising comfort or mobility. Featuring a 3mm neoprene torso and an integrated 5mm hood, this streamlined layering vest helps retain core body heat while reducing heat loss through the head in cooler water conditions.
With a thermal inner lining, Smoothskin face seal, and flexible minimalist design, this vest is an effective way to extend dive comfort and improve overall thermal performance.
Description
The Women’s Hooded Vest 5/3mm is a practical thermal layering solution for divers seeking additional warmth during cooler water dives. Designed to fit comfortably beneath an existing wetsuit, the vest enhances insulation around the body’s core while providing extra thermal protection to one of the most critical areas for heat retention—the head.
The vest incorporates a flexible 3mm neoprene torso that delivers warmth without restricting movement, making it comfortable for extended dives and active underwater exploration. The integrated 5mm hood provides increased insulation around the head, helping minimize heat loss and maintain overall body warmth in colder conditions.
A Smoothskin internal face seal helps create a close fit around the face, reducing water flushing and improving thermal efficiency. The hood also features strategically placed micro vent holes that allow trapped air to escape while minimizing water ingress, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit throughout the dive.
The smooth outer neoprene layers easily beneath a wetsuit, while the thermal inner lining adds comfort and insulation against the skin. The minimalist construction avoids unnecessary bulk, making the vest simple to wear beneath a variety of wetsuit styles and thicknesses.
Ideal for layering under a 5mm wetsuit or similar exposure protection, the Women’s Hooded Vest 5/3mm delivers reliable warmth from head to torso, helping divers stay comfortable during longer dives and cooler conditions.
