Hydrophobic tops have been around for quite a while now and are great because they do a fantastic job at repelling the water away from your skin and keeping you protected from the cold water. However, the standard hydrophobic tops in the market tend to be quite stiff and uncomfortable for high activity sports. They also tend to not be that breathable which is critical when training or racing in high activity ocean sports.
Enter the Vaikobi VCOLD Hydroflex Top
The VCOLD Hydroflex Top is designed for paddlers and water sport athletes who need lightweight warmth, protection, and all-day comfort. The Hydroflex Top differs from all other Hydrophobic tops in its overall weight and construction. Using a hollow yarn fabric that is super stretchy and light to wear, the top can trap a significant amount of warmth relative to its overall weight. In addition, the super soft plush lining feels so nice next to skin, you will be hitting the water with a smile no matter how cold it is out there!
Importantly, the Hydrophobic Treatment on the outer stops water attaching to the top meaning that you will stay dry and warm for longer than you would in our standard VCOLD Base Layers.
Featuring Vaikobi's trademark side mesh breathable panels, this top is all set to control your body temperature for maximum performance in cool to cold conditions. The Hydroflex Top is perfect on its own, or paired with the Hydroflex Pants and VCOLD Socks for a complete performance set.
