Does the VDive NS-JA1661-S provide enough warmth in cold water? I’m planning to buy this product and need to know if it’s suitable for my needs.
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question, Kok Lee. The VDive NS-JA1661-S Trans Neo NeoSport Rashguard is designed with 1.5mm neoprene material, which provides adequate warmth in temperate waters but might not be sufficient for cold water. However, the super-elastic material does stretch to accommodate your body’s temperature regulation. For your planning purposes, we recommend this product more suitable for warmer waters. If you’re looking for a product for cold water, please let us know and we’d be happy to recommend more suitable products.
