The NeoSport 5/3mm Men's XSpan Hooded Diving Vest is an essential thermal layering piece designed to significantly boost core body warmth during cold-water scuba diving and watersports.
Engineered with NeoSport’s ultra-flexible XSpan 250% stretch neoprene, this step-in hooded vest fits comfortably under or over a full wetsuit without restricting breathing or upper body movement.
Neo Sport hooded vests are the most comfortable and best fitting hooded vests in the business, developed and proven with 45 years of manufacturing and patterning experience.
All hooded vests feature Henderson’s exclusive flow vent to help prevent regulator exhaust from getting trapped in the crown of the hood.
NeoSport XSPAN Hooded Vests are the most comfortable and best fitting hooded vests in the business, developed and proven with 50+ years of manufacturing and patterning experience. All hooded vests feature Neo Sport's exclusive flow vent to help prevent regulator exhaust from getting trapped in the crown of the hood. All hooded vests are constructed using NeoSports bomb proof and proven technique of double gluing and blind stitching all seams inside and out for the ultimate in long life and durability.
Ultra-soft and comfortable 250% 4-way super stretch foam neoprene. Each hooded vest is constructed of 100% XSPAN material, unlike other hooded vests which only offer stretch panels or filler gussets. Vest has an internal key pocket, tear away sizing tags and Lycra trimmed edges. Anatomical cut pattern for a comfortable fit and spot taped at stress points for added durability. The XSPAN Hooded Vest is black in color and available in multiple sizes.
5/3mm Dual-Thickness Insulation: Features 5mm foam neoprene over the core torso, chest, and back to preserve vital organ warmth, paired with 3mm neoprene around the attached hood and neck for flexible head movement.
XSpan 250% Super-Stretch Material: Built with 100% XSpan high-stretch neoprene that expands easily, making the vest effortless to pull on and off while forming a snug, leak-free seal.
Anatomical Men's Cut: Sculpted specifically for men's body dimensions with broad shoulders and a tailored waist to minimize cold-water pooling under a primary wetsuit.
Integrated Vented Hood: Includes an attached hood with a built-in vent valve that allows trapped air and regulator exhaust to escape automatically without letting cold water seep inside.
Glued & Blindstitched (GBS) Seams: Every seam is double-glued and blindstitched to create a durable, watertight bond that restricts water exchange through the stitching.
Smooth-Skin Face Seal: Features a smooth-skin inner face seal that conforms comfortably around cheeks and jawline to prevent cold-water flushing under the dive mask skirt.
Versatile Thermal Layering: Worn as an underlayer beneath a jumpsuit or shorty to upgrade thermal ratings for cold-water dives, or used as a standalone core top in warmer waters.

The added thermal protection from the xspan 5/3 hooded vest works very well. It fits great under my wetsuit and adds another barrier of warmth. I love that the hood is attached, keeps my neck very cozy.
