Bare Exowear hooded thermal vest

Designed for all of your aquatic multisport adventures, the BARE Exowear Hooded Vest lets you stay warm during every surf, snorkel or dive session. As part of BARE’s lightweight, layerable and versatile Exowear line, the Exowear Hooded Vest lends extra warmth to your core and head and prevents brain freeze so you can harvest more surf or extend your time underwater.

Tapping into our OmniRed Technology, ExoWear’s heat-capturing fabric contains over a dozen thermo-reactive minerals that use your own body temperature to increase warm-and-cozy performance. An inner layer, membrane and outer layer comprise ExoWear’s 3-Layer fabric that protects from the elements. These layers are water repellant, windproof, breathable, quick-drying, wicking, and antimicrobial. So even after repeated use and all-day adventure, it stays stench-and-mold resistant.

For maximum maneuverability, ExoWear Hooded Vest offers protection for your core, while allowing for maximum mobility with large arm holes. Great as a standalone product or under a wetsuit for additional warmth.

Omnired™ Technology:
- OMNIRED™ Infrared Technology applies 13 thermo-reactive minerals woven into the suit’s fabric to convert outbound body heat into infrared energy and reflect it back to your body. Infrared energy has been proven to improve the body’s circulation. Increased circulation improves oxygen levels in the body, enabling you to use less energy, improve overall warmth and increase your time in the water.

Three-layer Fabric:
- Whether diving, kayaking, or stand up paddle boarding, ExoWear’s innovative 3-Layer Fabric protects you from the harshest elements. An outer layer, membrane and inner fleece feature properties that are water repellant, windproof, breathable, quick-drying, wicking, and anti-microbial.

Outer Layer:
- UV resistant outer layer has a durable water-repellent finish to provide a protective shell that sheds water, absorbs less water, and decreases drying time.

Membrane:
- Windproof and highly breathable membrane provides maximum comfort during high-exertion watersports and helps regulate body temperature while preventing wind chill.

Inner Fleece:
- Anti-Microbial with Hydrophobic technology and quick-dry fleece coatings mean less stink and a more easily packable suit to transport to your next destination or dive site.

4-WAY STRETCH:
- Freedom of movement is essential in the water. ExoWear’s 4-Way Stretch is superior to the more common 2-Way Stretch by stretching in both directions and providing more elasticity and breathability of the fabric.

MODULAR & LAYERABLE:
- ExoWear is BARE’s most versatile line of exposure protection garments, available in Full Suits, Jackets, Tops, Pants, Shorts, and Accessories. Mix & Match ExoWear’s lightweight and layerable exposure protection to suit every adventure.

- From cold water to warm, the ExoWear Hooded Vest is designed and engineered for layerability. It makes an excellent standalone for all-day surf sessions or the perfect supplement under your drysuit or wetsuit for added thermal protection when the conditions start dipping. Extend your session in the water, increase your comfort level and dive headfirst into adventure with the ExoWear Hooded Vest.
