Pinnacle's unique Merino-Elastiprene 3mm Hooded Vest can be worn by itself or with a dive skin or Shorty in warm waters, under a 3mmor 5mm suit in temperate waters, or layered with a thicker suit in cold waters to make any dive more enjoyable. The Elastiprene rubber makes the hooded vest more comfortable than others, and the Merino lining makes it warmer than any other hooded vest of similar thickness. Merion also does not promote the growth of bacteria, making it hygienic and reduces odor. The hood section is equipped with a 3mm face seal with smooth skin seal can be trimmed to custom fit the face mask seal. Hood has an automatic vent thatallows air to escape as necessary from the top of the hood while restricting water to re-enter. This Hooded Vest is extremely durable with stress disks added to all internal seam intersections for added strength, and all seams are double glued and blind stitched.

Comments about Pinnacle Pinnacle Merino Lined 3mm Hooded Vest Women's:
I bought this hooded vest for a recent warm water trip (82, 28C) to wear with my pinnacle 3mm wetsuit. My old old hooded vest, which fell apart on our last trip, always leaked water down the front when I lifted my head. This hooded vest fit so well around my head, i never felt cool water pouring in on my chest, so it kept me warm and toasty, which is what I like!
The vest fit well, except the arm openings felt a little big, but did not feel bulky under my suit. The latex (?) cuff around the neck really helps keep water out. easy to get on and off. Love it!
