    Perfect vest

    I am a dragon boat sweep on the south coast of WA, this is perfect for the early morning chill and I can layer it for extra warmth. Good length to keep my back warm and dry, also a great paddling vest. Thanks 👍😁

    Amazing vest.

    One wouldn’t think of a vest paddling necessarily, until you’re too cold without a wind/water layer on and too hot with a long sleeve jacket. Just like mountain biking in cooler weather, a vest is the answer. Core stays warm and dry, arms get the elements.

    The length is fantastic, long in the back and no exposed lower back. The quality is really good. I expect this to last a long time.

    Really happy with it. And it will definitely be used mountain biking as well as on the surf ski.

    Fleecy lined neck

    Love this vest. Useful additional layer in many circumstances. Over the top of VCOLD top on a winter morning. Extra wind protection over a UV top on a big downwind. Handy pockets. Buy my favourite feature is the fleecy lined neck with covered zip.
