Professional core insulation for cold water diving

The Beuchat Focea Comfort FC7 Hooded Vest is a high-performance thermal layer designed for divers who require extra warmth in challenging environments. The hybrid construction – featuring a 2.5mm neoprene body and a 5mm integrated hood – provides a significant boost to your core insulation without excessive bulk or buoyancy. It is the perfect addition to the Focea Comfort 7 wetsuit series or any other diving suit.

Advanced Materials: Elaskin X 8.8 and Fireskin Lining

Crafted from ultra-flexible Elaskin X 8.8 neoprene, this vest offers exceptional stretch and comfort. The interior is fully lined with Fireskin technology, a specialized material that reflects body heat to keep you warm throughout your dive. The integrated 5mm hood includes the patented Air Escape System, which allows trapped air bubbles to exit easily, preventing hood "ballooning" and ensuring optimal stability.

FAQ

Should I wear this vest under or over my wetsuit?

For maximum thermal efficiency, it is recommended to wear it under your primary wetsuit to trap heat directly against the Fireskin lining.

What is the benefit of the hybrid thickness?

The 2.5mm body provides core warmth without restricting your chest's expansion or arm movement, while the 5mm hood offers heavy-duty protection for your head.
