I'm giving this a cautious four stars due to the nice close fit, easy on and off and good looking style. It's not quite as warm as I expected, but then I wore it as a stand alone snorkeling in Hawaii in cooler February water. It would not have been adequate for diving. I think it will be fine under a rash guard for moderately warm water and should add insulation to a full wetsuit. Definitely a step up from the basic Sharkskin Chillproof which is bulky and stretches way too much when wet.

Hey there, water enthusiasts! Dive into your aquatic adventures like a pro with the SHARKSKIN Titanium 2 Vest. These aren't just any ordinary Vest - they're your ultimate ally against the chilly depths.
Imagine the cozy warmth of a 5mm neoprene suit but in a sleeker, more stylish package. That's what you get with these gems, thanks to the legendary Sharkskin Chillproof material. The material is sprinkled with the magic of titanium nanoparticles, ensuring you stay toasty even in waters as cool as 68 degrees F (20 degrees C).
The inner layer is like a snug hug for your skin, with "hollow yarn" fleece that traps and warms water. Plus, the middle layer is the genius you didn't know you needed - a one-way membrane that's all about smart temperature control. It fends off the wind and water on the surface, but allows moisture to escape, keeping you comfy as you explore the depths.
But that's not all! The outer layer brings agility to your swim with an impressive nylon/lycra blend that stretches in four fantastic ways. It's also tough against abrasions and laughs in the face of water with its water-repellent finish.
Here's the best part: unlike bulky neoprene, these Vest are slim, a breeze to put on, and blissfully buoyant. Want extra warmth? Slip them under your wet or dry suit, and you're golden.
