I'm torn between a jacket with arms and the vest - does it keep you warm enough? Does water come in through the arm holes? The jacket is 2 mm

I have not worn mine in awhile but as I recall, it was ok up near the arm pits but it was too loose at the waist or too short at the waist-know what I mean? I was aqua jogging so moving my arms a lot which produced enough heat. Depends on how cold you get.

You will get wet. The vest is a good option for warmer water. A jacket is good for cooler water. I recommend not buying any item from wetsuit wear house unless you like sewing it yourself.

I am VERY skinny, but if we're talking fairly cool swimming pools, this is a great suit. I do feel a gap in my scrawny back area where I feel the coolness of the water, but otherwise I swim laps happily in this. A good buy, lasted me over 7 months at 2x a week. Probably not warm enough for the ocean.

I love the vest in water temps between 72-78. I don't know if it would keep you warm in water below that. it probably would, I just don't know for sure. Water does not come in through the arm holes.

That's probably at the edge of it, if you're talking about jacket and bibs. I sat in an ice hut with good heat in my bibs and a sweatshirt and I was fine, but I wouldn't want to have kept the jacket on. Obviously personal tolerance comes into play. It's definitely the best deep cold suit for the money - worth every penny.

I've been wearing it as a cover over a down jacket, and my jacket has not been getting wet. I also wore it over a sweatshirt on a cruise ship in Glacier Bay. My camera got too wet to use again, but my sweatshirt stayed dry. I guess I should have used the jacket to cover the camera too.

The interior is a tight fleece material. Truelly a great jacket for the price, but it's not the inside as much as the outside material ins't water resistance. But you cant go wrong with the jacket.

This jacket is adjustable. It has arm holes and a neck hole large enough to accomodate your jacket.

Using the measurement guidelines provided, I bought the medium for my dog. She is about 40-45 lbs. It fit fairly snug around the stomach; and we had to pin it at the neck to keep it from coming unzipped in the water, but my dog has a big neck. I would rather it be a little tight than too loose in the water. It's a nice vest. I hope this helps you.hope this is of some help to you.

Thanks for contacting us! The square of fabric on the back will restrict airflow a little however not enough to make you uncomfortable. This vest incorporates more than enough mesh to keep an angler cool on a hot day in my opinion. I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions.Thanks,Fishwest Staff

Not sure I understand the question.As I understand it,it is worn under parka or shell jacket not zipped to it.I wear mine under a EMS shell jacket and I've not been cold even in the crazy cold weather we're having in Ma.Hope that helped.

Hmm, I know it has kept me plenty dry, warm, and not sweaty and I have given it plenty of action, including violent swims. The neck gasket does leak a tiny bit, which happened a couple of weeks ago at Kilchis River on the SHORE when I got wave after wave of heavy rain dumped on me for a good half hour. Get one of those LL Bean fleece fishing jumpsuits for $50-60 to wear under it, and a sweatshirt to wear between it and the drysuit if it's cold outside, and you will be fine.

Pretty close.The jacket needs to fit close so the heat is close to the body. I am 5' 9" and 160 lbs. I ordered a large for myself since my shoulders are broad and I don't like a tight fit in a coat. It fit great, plenty of room and this thing WORKS! Out on a job the other day in Charlotte and it was 8 degrees for the high and my body never got cold. I'm impressed.

I have an XL size vest. At the underarms it measures about 47 inches around, and at the bottom 48 inches. I usually wear a large size shirt, but got XL vest to be able to wear over winter coat. Hope this helps

its 1 layer fairly thick polyester fleece yet on the very front were your mouth, going down your chin and neck its laminate mesh that I would think would be pretty water resistant. I'm in MA and I've warm this while shoveling and snow blowing also and it does get about as wet as any fleece would yet I've never gotten wet through it even after an hour outside and when I do ride in the cold with it I but the arms of my glasses over it rather then going inside over my ears and that helps keep it snug. I like the idea of eh way the top is kinda adjustable as you can get more of a custom fit for how you want to wear the top, you can actually push it right off your head if you wanted. its 1 layer fairly thick polyester fleece yet on the very front were your mouth, going down your chin and neck its laminate mesh that I would think would be pretty water resistant.

Good morning. I purchased the jacket for my granddaughter. She told me it was indeed warm and waterproof and she loves it. She was skeptical, as was I, at first because it is so lighweight. But all skepticism was swept aside when she wore it for the first time in cold, damp weather. She has worn it ever since in those conditions. Hope this helps.

I wore it under my we suite since it is sleeveless. It helped keep my arms warm and it held its shape so far. I've used it three times and it was put in the dryer twice.

I find it to be plenty warm enough on it's own for work days (in the car before it warms up, walking to and from the car, etc). For outdoor activities I like to layer with a sweatshirt, fleece or sweater for added warm. The slim profile of the jacket vs the huge puffy down made my decision for me. I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of warmth for the reduced bulk.

Hi, the jackets' hood has a zipper around the neck..so would have to undo for a drink. For me, as I am short and wide...the extra head material for the size I need can get in the way a bit but (scroll down) it is worth it for me....as I deal with with the issue of WI state insect ..mosquito...having a party in my garden with the no see ums. It keeps both out and I am able to garden. :)
