Comments about Pinnacle Merino Lined 5mm Hooded Vest Women's:

I paired this hooded vest under my pinnacle 7mm full suit and I was toasty warm in 58 F water (but not too warm!). The vest blocked the tiny bit of water flow I get through my wetsuits zipper, and it was super convenient when running to the potty to only have to deal with my outermost layer. One thing to note however, I found that the hood constricted my neck on land if I wasn't looking straight forward - which caused problems putting my gear together. Luckily, it's easy to take the vest off between dives and remembering to assemble my rig beforehand should solve my problems. I would highly recommend this product.

This was the perfect choice for our January Caribbean trip. With water temperatures in the high seventies, everyone on the live-aboard was adding layers. Worn under a wetsuit, this keeps your head and torso nearly dry and very warm. I thought it was too snug the first time I pulled it on but it eases up a little after a dive or two. Donning was easy after I learned to hold the neck opening. The XL fit fine and I usually wear an XL women's top unless they run large.
