Love it

Under my 7mm in cold water down to 50° almost don't even need my dry suit. Helps cut down on water flow through the suit as well

Pinnacle 5/3mm Merino Titanium Hooded Diving Vest Review - Scuba Gear Reviews

This is a great vest for adding warmth under a wetsuit. I wore this under a 6.5 semidry and it definitely helped keep water out of the neck seal and kept my torso super warm in the 55 degree water. The merino lining is great and the quality is definitely good. While this product certainly fit me properly (Im 5 8" 154 lbs, I bought a ML), I did notice that the neck of the hood was a little snug which was great as a seal, but a little hard on my circulation. Id still recommend it though.

IMHO, very low stretch

I will give Leisure Pro A+ for making it easy for me to get the RMA online in the middle of the night instead of having to call and wait on hold to talk to somebody during office hours. The refund came quickly. The purchase was easy. The shipping on time.

Worked like expected

Item worked as expected, especially for the price. On my last dive trip to Hawaii I used this over my 2/3 suit after mulitple dives and it worked great. The LDS we were diving with was a dealer for Pinnacle and a lot of the crew used this same vest over thier 5mm suit.

Pinnacle Merino Lined 5mm Hooded Vest Me

This is my second purchase of this product, this time I purchased the 5MM. I've had and used the 3MM for several years during the summer months without an issue. High quality, attention to detail, comfortable, easy on and off. I've had several other vest and this is without a question the best of the bunch. I purchased the 5MM hood to extend my Florida diving season into the winters months and for a planned trip to the Galapagos

Good Product

Very warm vest and hood. Works well for added warmth under a 5 mm full suit. A bit difficult (tight) to remove wet. Otherwise would recommend this hooded vest

Great vest!

I really like this vest. I dive in CA where the temp is 45-55 degrees. Sometimes my head gets cold, so I'd consider getting a little thicker hood. But for warmer temps(60 degrees), this is a great item.

Nice unit!

Works great under my Harvey's semi-dry farmer john. It takes me a long time to get completely wet with the full rig on. Just the ticket for cooler waters.

Vest

By JOHN D.

Great warm vest. Nice hood. Good stretch.

Pinnacle's unique Merino 5mm Hooded Vest can be worn by itself or with a dive skin or Shorty in warm waters, under a 3mm or 5mm suit in temperate waters, or layered with a thicker suit in cold waters to make any dive more enjoyable. All of Pinnacle's hooded vests feature the Merino lining system and have 3mm sleeveless vests attached to the hood. The neoprene rubber makes the hooded vest more comfortable than others, and the Merino lining makes it warmer than any other hooded vest of similar thickness.

Merino also does not promote the growth of bacteria, making it hygienic and reduces odor. The hood section is equipped with a 3mm face seal with smooth skin seal can be trimmed to custom fit the face mask seal. Hood has an automatic vent that allows air to escape as necessary from the top of the hood while restricting water to re-enter. This Hooded Vest is extremely durable with stress disks added to all internal seam intersections for added strength, and all seams are double glued and flat-lock stitched. Hood vest is black in color and available in multiple sizes.
