I used this on a cruise in the Caribbean for riding the FlowRider at night and it worked perfectly. I wore it under my rash guard and it keep the wind out and kept me warm but not too warm. It was about 75 degrees F and about a 15mph wind. I wear the XL and it fit great and I didn't pull any muscles getting it off. lol

The childproof vest is great for kayaking, it provides warmth to the core but isn’t too hot when paddling.
This is the second chillproof vest I have owned. I owned the first vest for over 10 years and wore it regularly until I lost it somewhere. It was still in good order and being used.
When I decided that the old vest was definitely lost I bought a new one and I have been very happy with it.
This is a great product.

At my age and Polynesian descent, I hate being cold! Optimal temperature while training and racing is vital for enjoyment and successful performance. I use the Hybrid Long Pants and Sleeveless Vest for the bulk of my paddle training, which is a combination of ocean surf ski, down river and white water. The major advantage I discovered with Sharkskin was that I am comfortable in cold conditions but I don't overheat if there is a temperature change. I have used it in many different ways, under my wetsuit canyoning, winter mountain biking and kite boarding. Sharkskin is wonder wear!

I’ve had a few paddles in the Sharkskin Chest Vest in some really cold and windy Christchurch winter conditions. I really like how it stays dry on the inside and the fleece type material is really comfortable against the body. It doesn’t feel like other ’wetsuit’ vests as it moulds and moves with the paddling action and doesn’t restrict me at all. You can tell it provides 100% protection against the wind and cold as I could not feel any draught through the material, and it holds my body heat in well too. To top it off -it also looks cool! All in all a great product that will keep me paddling through winter chill free.
