anyone else been lucky enough to try one of these . Had mine about 3 weeks surfing in water around the 12 degrees mark -wear the vest under a 3-2 and I am warm as toast . Have tried the rip curl dawn patrol and flashbomb , billabong fusion and the anchor vests but this one is so much warmer , not to mention dryer .

Macs a tuff man. He could just wear that for our winter.

And its in mct colours too
Done deal
One way to get the best lm bank to yourself.


Ps tassiedevil. No doubt is a good thing for the water temp you guys face

12 degrees you guys are hard core wearing a vest in those conditions,I don't get the concept of a vest with a hood or is it a layer thing?

The vests let you wear a 3-2 steamer all year round ( wear the vest under the steamer ) . Saves having to wear a 5-4 or a 4-3 which are bastard things to paddle in especially for people like myself that are not super fit . The hood joined to the vest is designed to stop the cold water flush down the neck . Has surprised me how well it works . Only down point - sh-t of a thing to get off when wet .

Not that hard core - surfed Saturday - vest , hood , 3-2 , booties , gloves - young girl swimming beside me with a camera just in swimming gear - made me feel very old .

Yep might not go down to well on the gold coast .

Down here this vest has saved me from the ice cream headaches I have been getting this winter just wearing the gath stack hat ??
