The splash vest is one of the most useful garments for all seasons.   It provides a versatile level of protection against the elements without being so hot that you have to take it off after 5 minutes of training.

Front and back of Vest - Dintex Silvercloud - a very lightweight fabric that has a bonded waterproof membrane sandwiched between lightweight polyester layers.   

Side panels - Chito-X thermal - a 300g/sm stretch material that is warm with a lot of stretch.  It is not water or windproof but provides high mobility so you feel wrapped in warmth but not suffocated.

Vests have a large back pocket with horizontal zip, perfect to carrying items to and from the dock, or while rowing.
