DeSoto T1 Speedvest

If you want to stay warm in cold water I highly suggest this. You really need however to make sure you get the exact snug fit so no water gets in. It is easy to put on and easily zips up with zipper string. It can tug at your hair in the back a bit if you have a lot of it which I do, but that is the only tiny negative because it is very minor. I love this top and could not swim without it in the winter.

The speed vest was great quality, although at the high end of the price range for what I was looking for; however, actual sizing relative to the size chart seem very small. Based on dimensions provided, purchased the second to largest size (weight and waist well within range noted; chest at high end) couldn't even zip, and appeared likely that the largest size probably also wouldn't fit. Probably great for someone with a "runners build" but not recommended if you have well-developed chest/shoulders
