It's tempting to layer-up your existing tops when the weather is cool, but this can lead to excess bulk and overheating.

Level up your cold water game by selecting the right Vaikobi thermal top for the conditions.

Stay warm

Apparent air temp: 10-16 ºC / 50-61 ºF

Our Vaikobi VCOLD Base Layer top is ideal to beat that start-of-session chill, then efficiently sheds excess heat via the hydromesh underarm and side panels and super light fabrication.

Stay warmer

Apparent air temp: 6-10 ºC / 43-50 ºF

The Vaikobi VCOLD Hydroflex Top adds a cozy microfleece layer to your upper body, with moisture wicking fabrication that moves sweat away from your body and won't let you overheat.

Stay warmets

Apparent air temp: 0-6 ºC / 32-43 ºF

Our Vaikobi VCOLD FLEX Top is ideal for hitting the water on super cold mornings, with a combination of neoprene to insulate, and airprene to let the shoulders and underarms breath.

Layer with a Vaikobi VDRY vest if there's also a wind chill factor.
