This vest is thin ,yet manages to also have a warm liner. Perfect for summer/spring. Quality seems excellent, though I've only had it a few days.

When you need that little bit of extra warmth under your spring suit or steamer the Ocean and Earth Vest is both functional and warm. Vests are a better design to be worn under wetsuits than similar "T" shirt designs as they don't restrict your paddling at all. Most people feel the cold in their chest and back area and the Ocean and Earth Vest gives you that extra warmth so you can stay out longer, without the restrictions.

I live in between Byron Bay & Coolangatta, so water is pretty good all year round, but the air can get chilly on dawn patrol; or paddling up the estuary on my SUP on a windy day.
The thermo vest is just the thing; I have used an old Rip Curl thermo which did the job for the past five years: but these new O & E Thermo models are superb in design and quality.
