Neoprene Jacket Hoodie Windbreaker Unisex | Steel Blue
Regular price$250.00

2.5 mm closed-cell neoprene jacket with a front harness-opening zipper. Zip it over your wetsuit or harness—no flap, no fight, just warmth while you ride. 41–68°F air—no shivers, no full change.
Warm core, zero wind-chill—between sets, on deck, in the gusts.
Blocks wind (even wet): Closed-cell neoprene + drain points = instant warmth on docks, boats, and beaches.
Harness-ready: Front harness-opening zipper for your spreader-bar hook kills bulk so you can kite in a jacket without de-gearing.
All-day comfort: Rider-reported 3–8+ hours in wind and spray; instructors stay comfy through 2–3 lessons.
Coach, rig, or drive the boat for hours without the post-session freeze.
Care Instructions
Never leave neoprene in a hot vehicle.
Avoid aerosols, chemical solvents, oil, and gasoline; they can stain and weaken the material.
Always rinse neoprene gear promptly after using it. Never use hot water to rinse or clean neoprene. Always use cool or tepid water.
Never machine wash a neoprene garment. Neoprene can tear if it is stretched by an agitator.
Use only cleaning products that are designed for neoprene.
Keep neoprene away from potential heat sources.
Never put neoprene gear away while it is still wet. To dry a neoprene garment, turn it inside out and hang it from a thick, padded hanger. Wire hangers can damage the fabric.
Super-stretch inserts for full reach while paddling, teaching, or riding.
HEM BUNGEE
Dual cord locks seal out spray and fine-tune fit at the waist.
HOOD DRAINAGE
Cleaner neoprene overlap design — more functional, snag-free.
WIND- CHILL OFF. WARMTH ON.
Zipper opening for your harness hook
Purpose-built front harness opening routes cleanly around your spreader bar, letting you clip in/out without removing or unzipping—no bulk, no bunching—and the Watersports jacket moves with you for a wetsuit-like fit.

Best watersports jacket
This jacket surprised me of its quality and function! I even tried swimming in it and it holds just great. I like the shade of blue and that it blends well with the color of the water. The hood has drainage holes so no worries catching water in it. I would recommend this to all watersports enthusiasts I know. This is totally a good buy!

Perfect for kayaking
I was looking for a neoprene jacket for kayaking and found this miracle. This is everything that I am looking for. I looked at all the reviews and was totally convinced. Bought it right away and no regrets at all. Everything is worth the price! I really like the color, the jacket was awesome, and it is warm and comfortable.

Hi Nick !
Thank you for your review. We are happy that you are enjoying your purchase. You make a great choice ! Blue is also our favourite color !

Fit and finish were better than expected. Well made.
Zippers are substantial and function well. Comfortable during range of motion and non-binding. I plan to buy a second jacket so I’ll have a change of colors.
Wonderful jacket!!!
I got an XL. I wish sleeves were a tad longer.
No long sizes.

35” sleeve length

I hope that helps.
I will replace with long, if that ever becomes possible. Sign me up for that fleece lined too!
Store owner replied:
Hi John, thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback! We’re glad to know you’re enjoying the jacket, and your input means a lot to us. We appreciate your support!
Keeps you warm coming out of the water from scuba diving. I had to order two sizes larger. Seems to run small. Ordered an XXL when I would have normally ordered a large. But fit great.
Store owner replied:
Nos alegramos de que esté satisfecho con su compra. ¡No fue un envío fácil a España pero estamos contentos de que haya funcionado! ¡Gracias por ser tan paciente y disfrutar de la Chaqueta!
Love this jacket! I always use it at the beach when the weather is windy.
Great couple jacket
Bought this jacket for me and my boyfriend, and we're looking so fabulous in it. We use it for windsurfing and it is doing it job pretty well. It serves great as a windbreaker specially on cooler climate. This is definitely a 10 out of 10, and would recommend to all our friends!
This is exactly what I was looking for at a reasonable price. We use them for paddleboarding in the Northwest and it's allowed us to go year round in the sound. The fit is what I wanted since I'm on the larger size 6'1 240.
I BOUGHT IT FOR AFTER MY KITE LESSONS, WHEN YOU LOOK LIKE A RAISIN AND WIND HITS YOU ON YOUR WAY BACK SHORE , BUT I HAVENT BROUGHT IT YET .
INSTEAD , I USED IT DURING MY WEEK TRAINING WITH OFFSHORE SAILING DURING THE MONTH OF FEB 2021 ,WHEN SAILING OFFSHORE THE TEMP PLUS WIND FACTOR IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY , THE ONLY PERSON NOT SHAKING IN THAT BOAT WAS ME ,REALLY COZY EVEN FOR SLEEPING ,
100 % WORTH IT , YOU CAN THINK WHEN NOT FREEZING
This jacket is great for all watersports but is also specifically for windsurfing and kitesurfing as it has an opening for your harness's hook, so that it will fit very nicely. The material is soft but thick enough for moderate cold weather condition. Its front zip design make it easy to put on and off. It comes with a hood which added warmth to your body if you would get in and out of the water often. I didn't find many other bands have this particular type of design and am pleased with wearing it when in cold water condition.
Very stylish and comfy
I am very happy with this jacket. It's lightweight yet warm. The color is beautiful, and the jacket is visually stunning when I wear it. It can be worn over a wetsuit. I am 5'7'', 88 kgs, and it fits me fine. The sizing is accurate, but if you want to wear over a tee-shirt, it's best to order a size larger. I feel very safe wearing it while riding my motorbike. Great for cold early morning rides, and I've also used them in the evening as a windproof layering jacket. Overall great value for the price! I would recommend this jacket to anyone!
Great quality, awesome product
This is a great hoodie. It's fluffy and thick on the inside, but it's not uncomfortably bulky or heavy. I ordered an XXL (I'm 5'7" 210) and it was exactly the right size for me. The drawstrings around the waist are long enough to tie in front (I thought they could be, but I wasn't sure), and the drawstrings around the bottom of the arms are sewn in, which is nice. I love it!
Great product
If I could rate this jacket higher than 5 stars, I would; the quality is amazing, and so is the customer service. I'm 5'5" and 135 lbs. First of all, I ordered a small based on other reviews and found it was snug around my hips. I explained my problem to customer service via email, and they replied instantly, saying they'd send me a new one in a medium. I got it within days! I love the color and material too.
Clear five star for amazing quality
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! The jacket is well constructed, comfortable and has plenty of pockets for goodies. I have used the jacket on several occasions already. It keeps me warm even when wet. The jacket is perfect for what I wanted, a windproof and waterproof jacket to wear while kiteboarding. It fits well and is super durable.
Great sportswear
I am a windsurfer and a kitesurfer. This jacket is a must-have for me. It's very light, but it's warm enough for the windy conditions of the ocean. I use it for all water activities. The fit is perfect for my athletic body, especially in the arms. I am 6'2" and 195 lbs. It's not too tight nor too loose. The neoprene material makes it perfect for water sports, and with the extra-long zipper, you can still open the whole jacket when you want.
Great jacket for surfing
I purchased this jacket for my trip to Hawaii. It was clear that the jacket was well made and would keep me cool. I purchased a small, which is my typical size. The sleeves were too tight, so I ended up purchasing the large. The Large fit perfectly over my bathing suit at the beach. I have been wearing the jacket all week on the water, and it was nice and warm. I would buy this product again.
Awesome wind breaker
The jacket fits perfectly. It's comfortable and has an athletic fit. I'm 6'5" with a 30-32in the waistband, and XL fits form-fitting. If you are average or overweight, maybe go a size or 2 up. The hoodie is very high quality, and the colors are bright. Overall, I'm very pleased with this hoodie. It's a bit pricey, but for a quality neoprene hoodie, it's a good deal.
Exactly what I wanted
I love this jacket! It's perfect for spring and fall windsurf sessions. I am 5'4" and 143 pounds, and I ordered the Medium. It fits great. The overall construction is solid, not cheap. I like that it has the zipper opening for my harness hook. I also like the color (I bought aqua). It's warm and comfortable.
Love it
I've been wearing my Platinum Sun hoody for about a year now, and it's still looking great. I have owned 3 of these jackets now! I wear it all the time. It has become my go-to jacket for spring skiing, warm days, overnights, and pretty much any chance I get to wear it!
Fits according to chart, very nice
I am really happy with this jacket. It looks and feels great. I was nervous about sizing before I ordered. I got it in size Xtra Large, which is a size up for me; usually, large is what I wear in almost everything. The shirt fits me exactly how I wanted it to; arms are long enough on the sleeves, the body is narrow enough on the torso, shoulders are slightly fitted on the shirt. I would recommend you to order a size up if you need loose-fitting.
Great hoodie to save from cold
I was looking for a windbreaker that could be worn in the spring and fall but wanted it to be stylish. This Red jacket is exactly what I was looking for. The size is exactly as I expected. I'm 5'8", 161 lbs, and 39 inches chest. The small fits perfectly. It's a nice, warm, wind-resistant jacket that fits perfectly. The material is nice and thick, but the jacket is still very light. It is of great quality and looks really nice.
sexy jacket
Love the quality of the jacket, very thick fabric and stitching. Looks like it's really well made. I love that it's windproof and water-resistant. The design is very nice too! The color isn't bright red but more of a deep red which I prefer. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase.
It fits really well
I ordered this jacket for my hubby and he loved it so much. The quality is great, very soft and comfortable. And the price is so good! I'm giving 5 stars because the jacket is great.

Yes—closed-cell neoprene blocks wind and retains heat even when wet, unlike woven shells.
No—wear it over your suit or layers to block wind and extend warmth between sets.
Yes—the front harness-opening zipper sits flat so you can ride or teach without de-gearing.
It blocks wind and spray and holds virtually no water — very different from a cotton hoodie or rain shell. It's not a sealed-seam raincoat, but neoprene is naturally water-resistant and keeps you warm even when wet. That's the whole mechanism.
It kills wind-chill fast. Riders use it in 30-knot wind, 50°F water environments, cold mornings/evenings, and rainy boat days. Think air ~41–68°F (5–20°C), or any temp with strong wind/spray when you’re wet or standing still.
Mainly topside: rigging, coaching, safety boat, between sets, post-dive/post-surf, kitesurfing, wingfoiling, jet-ski runs, beach time. It’s fine for splashes and brief immersion, but not for long swims/surfing—like any jacket, the hood/pockets can hold some water if you’re fully submerged.
Yes—that’s the point. Many athletes wear it over 3/2–5/4 suits to extend sessions and stay warm between tacks or after dives. Consider sizing up if you’ll wear it over a bulky wetsuit.
Yes — it's the whole point. The front harness-opening zipper lets your spreader-bar hook pass straight through so you stay clipped in and warm without ever removing the jacket. Instructors and riders have been testing this since 2014.
It runs a bit small/slim in the torso (athletic cut). If you’ll wear it over a wetsuit, or you’re between sizes, size up.
Reviewers call it soft, thick-but-light, and “not slouchy.” Long sleeves, fitted shape, and freedom of movement come up repeatedly.
Yes. It knocks down wind-chill and keeps the core “toasty,” even in strong gusts and on cold, wet decks.
No—neoprene holds very little water compared with cotton or generic “waterproof” shells that can leak. If you fully submerge, expect normal jacket behavior (drain after).
