Hooded vest w/ side zipper ... who makes it?

[highdesert]

Greetings, folks -

When we returned from Raja Ampat in December and unpacked our gear, my wife/buddy realized her 3mm vest was probably still hanging over the drying rail aboard the boat in Indonesia. Bummer! :depressed:

She's thinking of replacing it with a hooded vest. I've seen somewhere online a hooded vest with a side zipper from the waist to armpit on one side. Seems like a good idea after watching people wrestle with them trying to get them on or off. So now I can't find it! Any help out there?

Thanks!

I have owned a couple Akona hooded vests - well made and have both a side zip and a skin out seal around the neck.

Bare makes a 7mm and 5mm hooded vest. The zipper goes from the bottom of the leg to the side of the hood. So when it is unzipped, you just step into it. I had one before I got my drysuit.
