The Original Radiator 0.5mm Thermal Vest

Radiator's Unique 4- layer Technology: Thinner, Lighter and WarmerWhen Radiator first developed the world’s original 0.5mm thermal vest, it changed the way to keep warm in the water and has now become standard waterwear for surfers, divers or anyone enjoying the water. Using a unique 4 layer technology and Japanese limestone based neoprene Radiator is still unbeaten for quality and performance. Whether worn on its own or under a conventional wetsuit, Radiator thermal wear enables a whole range of options and combinations to cover all conditions with warmth and flexibility in a super lightweight garment.

Superior Insulation with Limestone Technology To make the best wetsuit you need the best material. Our thermal wear and wetsuits are made from the highest grade limestone based chloroprene (CR) from the Yamamoto Corporation in Japan.

4 Layer Technology

SCS super composite skin: The silver slip skin reflects body heat and zero resistance on the skin enables better movement and less fatigue.
93% closed cell neoprene core: Thermal barrier for Super insulation
Titanium: Softer, lighter and does not absorb water
Nylon outer jersey: Improves form, durability and 4-way stretch.

Memory Shape and Slipskin Lining The cell structure also makes the chloroprene stretchy, and gives it better “memory” to come back to shape and last longer without bagging out. Our iconic Thermal Vest incorporates Radiator’s 4 layer construction with an inner slipskin lining. This layer has zero resistance to the skin allowing the vest to slide on your skin as you move meaning much less restriction and ease of movement. In other words, it doesn’t suck onto you inhibiting movement, and tiring you out, like a conventional suit.Body Heat Reflexion and Premium FeaturesBest of all, the Blue slipskin being a metallic base reflects your body heat extremely efficiently keeping you toasty warm but allowing for much thinner suits.All our suits are manufactured using the latest production techniques and include all the premium features. Radiator also offers:

Blue series are the best wetsuit yet.

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.

Check sizing

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.

AWESOME

Best wetsuit on the market. Light. easy to put on, and Warm

Comfortable and warm!

Great kit

Bought the Men’s Short John and a long sleeved vest. Both Men’s but ok for a woman (none for women available at the time). Really light to wear, warm in the water and very soft and flexible. Ideal!
