Men's Wetsuit Top Jacket 2mm or 3mm - Neoprene Long Sleeve for Warmth & Comfort, Extended Back Flap - Ideal for Surfing, Snorkeling & Watersports

Bought the XL 2mm as a thermal layer for cold water (50-70 F) triathlon above my tri-suit (Synergy, XL) and under my full length wetsuit (XTerra, a 3,2,1mm XL). Is form fitting and works great with my system! I like the material which is soft (as opposed to the rubber outer of the wetsuit). The zipper is big but not obtrusive and fits tight around the neck. One thing you don’t see in the pics is that there is a weather panel behind the full length of the zipper to up above the top (neckline) creating a solid seal. The under arms are a baggier than I like but does allow a good range of motion. It’s holding up great but note sure about the square logo, that’s the only thing I’m seeing wearing. No issues putting on or taking off, a little baby oil on the forearm always helps with a fast takeoff. My watch (garmin) fits well under the sleeve or can roll up with no break in the arm seal if you want to see it for tracking time/distance, but will obviously want it under the sleeve for taking it off.I’m 6’2”, 195lbs.

Great value and the fit is great. Looks great and the zipper quality is excellent. Keeps me warm in cold ocean water. Design is nice and fits well.

To be clear at the very start I do have some circulation challenges and I don't respond well to keeping my core warm in water that others may find acceptable. I recently had a chance to use this in the waters of Mexico. The water temps were between 65-68 and the outside air between 80-84. Some sun but mostly a mix of clouds and sun. The first day I used this shirt and was going down roughly 10-20 feet. The second day I did not use the shirt but the depth and weather were the same. The shirt fit well. I'm a muscular 175 lbs. at about 5'11". I bought a large. The chest and arms were nice and tight. The stomach and waist area were not as tight. Never had a problem with the zipper as it did not catch on anything and worked smoothly. I could move very well with the shirt on and never felt restricted. I also bought the 2mm version and not the 3mm. I'm a very good swimmer and have many adventures with water activities at many different depths and conditions.The big question is did it work, yes it did. The first day I used the shirt my body felt comfortably warm in the shirt. I used it for over an hour and didn't realize I had been in the water that long. The second day I went out without the shirt. I eventually got my body temp up but was not as comfortable and at times felt cold and even at one point started to shiver. I did not spend as much time in the water the second day because of the concern about my core temps.There were what I call two minor issues that may not bother others. First was the waist and stomach area were not as form fitting as the arms and chest. This did cause some lifting and at times I pulled it down. I do not much of any stomach fat and my waist is a sub 30" to put context to my statement. I would like to have had the stomach and waist area a bit narrower to minimize the pulling and lifting. The other minor issue and this is NOT an issue with this brand is that this type of shirt will add some buoyancy to your body. I did have to exert more energy to get down and stay down. This can be a minor fix if using weights but something to keep in mind.Overall this was a good buy and I would buy again. I cannot comment on durability as I've only been able to use it a handful of times. However I can say after multiple days of use and being in a travel bag it still looks brand new. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is around colder waters or has challenges with keeping their body temps. It would also work well for those that may not be the strongest swimmer since is will help you float a bit.

Pros: nice and warmlow priceCons: snug fit especially at wristfor me loose at the waist but a loop to tie surf shorts to wet suit would be nice.Takes me 5-8 minutes to get it off my wrist because I'm a slow learner.

Warm, durable. As described with sizing. I usually wear an L or XL, and 2XL was spot on for me. I've used it many times, and expect to continue doing so!

I wore this jacket out on my JetSki this past Sunday here in Connecticut. The air temperature was in the 60s and the wind was around 20 mph in the ocean. Waves were reaching around 5 feet as the tide rolled in. The jacket kept me warm, despite the weather. It was snug (or my gut is bigger than I'd like to admit) but likely ideal for a surfer or scuba diver. I think if I were to order another, I would likely go up a size, but I am satisfied, and instead will try to lose a few pounds. I utilized the size chart and went by weight to determine the appropriate size.

Strong rubber smell, never had a neoprene wetsuit smell like that before. Maybe I need to lift weights, the forearm portion fit well, but the bicep and armpit area was really loose. I was hoping to use as a basic freediving jacket and was attracted by the price. Unfortunately had to return it.

I dive primarily in cold water, and I usually have on a 7mil wetsuit so when the water gets between wetsuit and drysuit season, this neoprene jacket works like a charm. It's comfortable, easy to get on and off and fits perfectly under my wetsuit. I even wore it under my drysuit to add a little extra thermal insulation. It doesn't seem to add any extra buoyancy to my profile so I didn't need to adjust any weights. And for the price, it is totally worth it. 10 or of 10, would highly recommend.
