BARE Exowear Vest

Maximum Thermal Protection for Multi-Sport Use

The BARE Exowear Vest provides the maximum thermal protection available in a neutrally buoyant exposure-protection garment, designed for multi-sport use. OMNIRED™ Infrared Technology woven into the vest’s fabric converts your outbound body heat into infrared energy and reflects it back to your body for enhanced thermal warmth.

3-Layer Fabric Construction

Exowear’s innovative 3-Layer Fabric protects you from the harshest elements during diving, kayaking, or stand-up paddleboarding. Each layer combines performance features: water repellency, windproofing, breathability, quick-drying, moisture wicking, and anti-microbial properties.

1. Outer Layer – UV-resistant with a durable water-repellent finish to shed water, absorb less, and dry quickly.

2. Membrane – Windproof and highly breathable, providing maximum comfort during high-exertion watersports and regulating body temperature while preventing wind chill.

3. Inner Fleece – Anti-microbial with hydrophobic quick-dry coatings to reduce odor and allow easy packing for travel or dive trips.

OMNIRED™ Technology

OMNIRED™ applies 13 thermo-reactive minerals woven into the fabric to convert outbound body heat into infrared energy and reflect it back. This infrared energy improves circulation, which increases oxygen levels in the body, reduces energy expenditure, improves overall warmth, and allows you to spend more time in the water.

4-Way Stretch & Maneuverability

Freedom of movement is essential in the water. Exowear’s 4-Way Stretch provides more elasticity and breathability than traditional 2-Way Stretch vests. Large armholes allow maximum mobility while protecting your core, making it ideal as a standalone product or worn under a wetsuit for additional warmth.

Modular & Layerable

Exowear is BARE’s most versatile line of exposure-protection garments. Available in Jackets, Tops, Pants, Shorts, and Accessories, the line allows you to mix and match lightweight, layerable pieces to suit any adventure.
