BARE ExoWear Hooded Vest - Unisex

By BARE Sports | ExoWear Series | Integrated Hood | OMNIRED™ Infrared Thermal Protection

Protect your core and head against extreme cold-water exposure with the BARE ExoWear Hooded Vest. Designed as a high-performance, neutrally buoyant multi-sport garment, this versatile hooded vest features an integrated hood to drastically reduce head heat loss—making it an ideal standalone barrier for surface watersports or a high-efficiency thermal underlayer beneath a wetsuit or drysuit in Canadian waters.

Utilizing BARE's proprietary 3-layer fabric technology, the vest body combines a water-repellent outer finish with a windproof middle membrane that prevents evaporative wind chill. The interior is lined with thermo-reactive OMNIRED™ Technology, using 13 mineral-infused fibers that capture outgoing body heat and reflect it back to your muscles as far-infrared energy for continuous core warmth and stamina.

Key Performance Features

• Integrated Hooded Design: Built-in thermal hood seals around the face to eliminate cold-water flushing around the neck and throat.
• OMNIRED™ Thermal Science: Thermo-reactive mineral fleece converts outgoing body heat into far-infrared energy for active core thermal recovery.
• Advanced 3-Layer Protection: Water-repellent outer finish, wind-blocking membrane, and soft anti-microbial interior fleece.
• Neutrally Buoyant Construction: Delivers high thermal value without adding positive buoyancy or altering dive weight requirements.
• 4-Way Stretch Flexibility: High-stretch fabric molds securely against torso and head contours to minimize water circulation.
• Chafing-Free Flatseam Stitching: Smooth, low-profile seams eliminate pressure points under BCD harnesses, drysuit undergarments, or wetsuits.
