Conquer Cold Water with the Vaikobi VCOLD Hydroflex Top

When paddling in cold or changing conditions, staying warm without sacrificing performance is crucial. The newly updated Vaikobi VCOLD Hydroflex Top delivers on all fronts—offering serious paddlers the perfect balance of thermal insulation, breathability, and freedom of movement.

Designed for Performance in Cold Conditions

Whether you're kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, surf skiing, or out on a downwind mission, the VCOLD Hydroflex Top is built to keep you comfortable in cool to cold water conditions. Engineered with input from elite paddlers, this top is part of Vaikobi’s renowned VCOLD range, specifically tailored for high-output water sports.

The outer layer features a hydrophobic coating that actively repels water, preventing that chilling, soaked feeling that can sap your energy over time. Inside, a plush fleece lining adds warmth without bulk, allowing you to move freely and paddle hard.

Smart Materials for Maximum Comfort

At the heart of the VCOLD Hydroflex Top is Vaikobi’s hollow yarn fabric, which traps warmth while staying feather-light. You get serious thermal protection without the sweat. That’s where the Hydromesh underarm and side panels come in—they allow excess heat and moisture to escape, keeping your core temperature stable even during intense sessions.

The performance fit is close to the body to reduce drag, while the scooped back hem ensures your lower back stays covered and warm as you rotate and lean into your stroke.

Built-In UV Protection

Even in colder months, UV protection matters—especially when you're on the water all day. The VCOLD Hydroflex Top is rated UPF 50+, shielding your skin from harmful sun exposure without needing extra layers.

Style That Stands Out

Function meets flair with this top. Available in a range of standout colors—including Black, Cyan, Fluro Orange, Fluro Yellow, and Pink—the VCOLD Hydroflex Top keeps you visible on the water and looking sharp. Whether you're training, racing, or just out for a cruise, you’ll look as good as you feel.

Why It’s a Must-Have for Your Kit

If you’re serious about paddling in all conditions, the Vaikobi VCOLD Hydroflex Top deserves a spot in your gear bag. It’s ideal for shoulder seasons, cold mornings, or long-distance efforts when staying dry and warm makes all the difference.

Whether you're chasing a winter downwind run or putting in pre-season base miles, the VCOLD Hydroflex Top ensures you can focus on your performance—not the temperature.
