I love the radiator vests for their stretchiness, longevity of use over years of sun and ocean wear. They have versatile uses for the different ocean activities I do. I wear shorts and a vest in the in-between swimming season in Tasmania when the water is 15 and a cool wind blows still. When its really cold in August I will use a vest as an extra layer under my 3:2 swimming wetsuit. I use the vest when body surfing to protect my shoulders from getting burnt I can last comfortably for about 40 minutes when the water is 15+ in the long sleeved vest if I dont stop too much. I have used the sleeveless vest under a wetsuit if its 11 and cold southerly wind. Good to have on hand for those conditions
I've been wearing Radiator wetsuits for 13 years now. These blue series are the bomb. Flexible, easy to get in to, quick drying, seal unbelievably and quick drying.
I previously lived in Perth but now in Sydney. Great service and delivery.
This is my 3rd Radiator 0.5mm vest - short arm. I am the same size and weight however whereas my other 2 tops were Medium this medium vest is definitely tighter?? Double checked the size on the previous and new vest and both are medium Might mean that Radiator has tightened up sizes - or that the previous vests were a bit oversized? Anyway - check sizing carefully now with current stock and do not assume sizes will be the same as stock from 4 years back. Will keep the vest and just adjust to the tighter fit. I would buy the next size up.
Best wetsuit on the market. Light. easy to put on, and Warm
