Key Features & Benefits
- OMNIRED™ Thermal Technology: Embedded minerals reflect escaping body heat as infrared energy, slowing thermal loss by up to 36%.
- 3-Layer Element Defense: Water-repellent outer shell, windproof/breathable middle membrane, and soft anti-microbial inner fleece.
- 4-Way Stretch Performance: Delivers superior multi-directional elasticity compared to standard 2-way stretch fabrics for complete freedom of movement.
- 2mm ELASTEK Neoprene Collar & Wrists: Ultra-stretch neck and wrist panels ensure optimal sealing to minimize flushing.
- 21" YKK Heavy-Duty Front Zipper: Durable zipper allows smooth, fast entry and quick ventilation on demand.
- Flatseam Construction & Seamless Underarms: Friction-free, flat-stitch construction prevents chafing whether worn alone or under a BCD.
- Anti-Microbial & Quick-Drying: Hydrophobic inner lining repels water, prevents odor-causing bacterial growth, and dries quickly between sessions.
Performance & Design
3-Layer Fabric Technology
The outer layer features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish that sheds water rapidly. The breathable middle membrane blocks wind chill while allowing moisture vapor to escape during high exertion. The anti-microbial fleece interior feels soft against the skin while keeping you warm.
Neutrally Buoyant Thermal Layering
Designed as a neutrally buoyant exposure garment, the ExoWear Jacket requires no additional ballast weight. Wear it as a standalone outer top or layer it over an ExoWear vest or short-sleeve top for boosted insulation in cooler waters.
