Good but not great.
Good product and awesome idea just not the greatest yet. Stictching at bottom is too light and only one strand. Needs tripple stitching and reinforced edges. To be what is advertised it needs to be stronger that the user being it.
Thanks for your review Jordan. Please note that to construct neoprene type materials requires a certain type of stitching that allows expansion and contraction to follow the same/similar stretch properties of the neoprene. Triple needle stitching, while very strong and we use this in many of our apparel designs when possible, does not have enough elastic characteristics to match the same stretch as neoprene.

New favorite
Took on a summer spring trip. Water temps were 68-70°F. The waterman kept the chill off all day. Probably could use a size larger, but the thin neoprene stretches quite a bit. XXL stretched to fit 51” chest, 40” waist 6’ tall 270 lbs.

Great piece of gear, just needs one thing
I love the jacket, it just needs more neoprene material on the flap that’s underneath the zipper when it’s all the way to the top.

Special Jacket
Runs tight (as it should). Well designed, it becomes a second skin. I’m pleased with how flexible it is - both in function, and in allowing free movement. If you’re in very good or very bad shape, you might want to size up?
