The VCOLD Hydroflex Top is built for paddlers and watersport athletes who need lightweight warmth without the bulk. Made from 1mm HydroFleece with breathable mesh panels and a super soft fleece neck, it regulates temperature through high-output sessions while keeping you comfortable from first stroke to last. Worn alone on cool mornings or layered as part of a full thermal set, pair it with the Hydroflex Pants and VCOLD Socks for complete cold water coverage.

A note on the fabric: The Hydroflex Top is made from a super fine HydroFleece that's exceptionally soft and warm and performs beautifully in the marine environment. Like many fine performance fabrics, it can develop some pilling at rubbing points over time. This is completely normal, settles down with use as the fabric beds in, and won't affect the top's performance or longevity.

Key Features

  • 1mm HydroFleece: Lightweight warmth without bulk, soft and comfortable from the moment you put it on.
  • UPF 50+: Advanced sun protection for extended sessions on the water.
  • Hydrophobic hollow yarn: Repels water and dries quickly to cut wind chill while retaining heat and staying lightweight.
  • Super soft fleece neck: Extra comfort and cold-weather protection at the collar.
  • Breathable mesh underarm and side panels: Strategically placed for temperature regulation during high-output paddling.
  • Scooped back hem: Added coverage and protection for the lower back.
  • Flat-lock stitching: Soft, strong, and durable seams for lasting comfort.

Weight

Hop on some scales

Chest

Measure the fullest area of your chest. Stand up straight and breath normally.

Waist

Measure around the narrowest part (typically where your body bends side to side), keeping the tape horizontal.

Hips

Measure around the widest part of your hips, keeping the tape horizontal.

Tips:

If one of your body measurements is on the borderline between two sizes, order the smaller size for a tighter fit or the larger size for a looser fit. If your body measurements for hips and waist correspond to two different suggested sizes, order the one indicated by your hip measurement.

Review Summary
Customers say this paddling top is comfortable, warm, and fits true to size. Many reviews mention its effectiveness for cold weather paddling, with users wearing it in temperatures from 10-15°C (48-60°F). The material feels soft and flexible, allowing full range of motion while paddling. Common feedback includes the top's ability to shed water quickly and provide warmth even when wet. Users appreciate the bright color options for visibility and find it breathable enough to prevent overheating. Some note the material can be sensitive under life jackets, and a few mention sizing runs small for women. Most praise its versatility as either a standalone layer or base layer for winter water sports.

    Comfortable and reassuring!

    My beautiful new neoprene top was surprisingly comfortable all day for my last 10 Canadian gulf island ocean days. And so effective when I fell off my SUP, I seriously didn’t feel that shock of cold water. Thanks Vaikobi!

    I never get too hot in this but helps when it's 55 out. Nice stretch to the fit too.
