The Sharkskin Chillproof Vest – Womens is the ultimate sleeveless thermal top for water sports enthusiasts who need unrestricted arm movement without sacrificing warmth and comfort. With its large arm sockets and low-cut neckline, this versatile vest protects your core while allowing maximum mobility, making it a go-to piece for paddle, board, wind, and power sports — or as an insulating layer under a wetsuit for scuba diving and snorkelling.
Why You’ll Love It
Sharkskin Chillproof is a purpose-built, three-layer technical fabric designed for watersports. It delivers the warmth of a 2.5–3mm neoprene wetsuit, but without the bulk or buoyancy drawbacks. The windproof, breathable membrane prevents windchill while regulating body temperature, and the hollow-fibre fleece lining provides soft comfort, superior insulation, and moisture-wicking properties. Worn alone or layered with other Sharkskin garments, Chillproof keeps you warm, protected, and free to move in and out of the water.
