Wind-chill gone in seconds.
Stay comfy and warm in spray and gusts.

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.
Waterproof shells keep rain off, but once you’re wet the wind still steals heat. We built a neoprene jacket to wear on top—block the wind, keep the warmth—so riders and coaches can stay sharp between tacks and through long sessions.
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 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. The harness-access zipper lets kiters and windsurfers keep the jacket on while clipped in.
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).
