Is there any way to add more insulation to the Scubapro S-Tek Hooded Vest for even colder dives?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your feedback, Emily! We understand your concern about adding more insulation to the Scubapro S-Tek Hooded Vest for colder dives. While we have not developed an additional insulation kit for this vest, you may consider layering it with a Scubapro thermal fleece or another insulating layer designed for colder water conditions. Alternatively, you can check with our customer service team about potential custom upgrade or adjustment options for your specific requirements.

This Scubapro S-Tek Hooded Vest has been my go-to for every dive since I got it! It’s so versatile and can be layered under my wetsuit or worn on its own. I also love how stylish it looks – the Titan metalite design gives it a sleek and modern touch.

I have to say, I was a bit disappointed with the Scubapro S-Tek Hooded Vest. It’s a bit too bulky for my taste and the material feels a bit stiff. That being said, it’s still a high-quality product and it does the job well. If you’re in the market for a good dive vest, I’d still recommend considering it, but just be aware of the minor drawbacks.

Is the Scubapro S-Tek Hooded Vest suitable for cold water diving? Can someone please weigh in on its thermal performance?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your review and for considering the Scubapro S-Tek Hooded Vest for your cold water diving needs. This vest is designed to provide extra warmth over the torso and layers well with our steamers. The 2.5/0.5mm titanium metalite construction should provide sufficient thermal insulation in cold water conditions. We’ve had many customers opt for this model for similar use cases, and they’ve found it to perform well in cold water conditions. That being said, thermal performance can vary greatly depending on several factors, including water temperature, dive depth, and individual tolerance. We’d love to hear more about your experience with the vest, especially in cold water environments. Have you had a chance to try it out yet, and if so, how did it perform?

Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question about the Scubapro S-Tek Hooded Vest care and maintenance. To extend the life of your vest, we recommend rinsing it thoroughly after each use and allowing it to air dry. Avoid using fabric softener, bleach, or other chemicals that can damage the materials. For tougher stains, a mild detergent specifically designed for wetsuits can be used. After a long dive, consider storing the vest in a cool, well-ventilated area. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d be happy to help.

What’s the difference between the 2.5mm and 5mm versions of the Scubapro S-Tek Hooded Vest? Is one better suited for warmer water diving?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question, Khaele. The main difference between the 2.5mm and 5mm versions of the Scubapro S-Tek Hooded Vest lies in their thickness and warmth they provide. The 5mm version is thicker and provides more insulation, making it suitable for cold-water diving, while the 2.5mm version offers slightly less warmth. For warmer water diving, either version can be suitable, but if you’re diving in extremely warm water, you may not need the 5mm version. However, it ultimately depends on your personal preference and the water temperature you’ll be diving in. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Others who have bought this product may also want to chime in with their experiences.
