Merino Men's Long Sleeve (Closeout) by Lavacore
All the Core Warmth. Zero Weight-Belt Penalty.
Let’s be honest: peeling off a dripping wetsuit just to shiver through a surface interval is miserable. But throwing on another layer of neoprene usually means strapping more lead to your weight belt just to sink. The Lavacore Merino Men’s Long Sleeve solves that problem entirely. It delivers the thermal punch of a light wetsuit vest without a single scrap of neoprene—meaning zero added buoyancy and zero extra weight required. Whether you're layering it under a full suit for a chilly morning dip or wearing it solo on a windy boat deck, it blocks the chill, traps your body heat, and lets you move like you're just wearing a t-shirt.
Merino Wool Breathability at a Steal of a Price
Here’s the secret sauce: Lavacore didn't just build another fleece top; they mapped high-stretch Merino wool right into the underarms. That’s the exact heat-dump zone where standard thermal shirts turn into swampy saunas during heavy finning or gear loading. The Merino wool breathes, wicks sweat instantly, and naturally fights off funk, while the windproof, water-repellent outer shell handles sea spray and boat-deck breezes. Because this is a closeout deal, you're getting elite, multi-sport thermal tech for a price that won't come around twice. Once these are out the door, they’re gone.
Features
- Closeout Pricing: Premium bi-laminate thermal gear at a bargain-bin price—grab one before your size disappears.
- 100% Neutrally Buoyant: Zero neoprene means zero extra lift. You get serious core warmth without adding a single pound of lead to your belt.
- Merino Wool Underarm Panels: High-stretch, natural Merino wool in the armpits dumps excess heat, breathes hard, and naturally kills bacteria and dive-boat funk.
- Windproof & Water-Repellent Shell: The outer membrane shrugs off sea spray and stops evaporative wind chill dead in its tracks during boat rides and surface intervals.
- Athletic Male Cut: Tailored to actually fit a guy's shoulders and torso without billowing around the waist or bunching up under a wetsuit.
- UPF 50+ Sun Defense: Keeps the sun off your back during long days on the water, whether you're diving, kayaking, or paddling.
- Plush Inner Fleece: Ultra-soft interior lining feels great against bare skin and grabs onto your body heat the second you put it on.
