SCUBAPRO Everflex Seal Diving Hood 5/3mm

Description

Head and ears are where a diver loses heat fastest, so a hood with a face seal extends a cold dive further than a thicker suit does. The seal is what separates this from a plain hood, cutting the water transfer that carries heat away around the face. Divers who have called a Cape dive early on an ice-cream headache tend to notice it first. The outside is 100 percent high-stretch Everflex nylon and the interior is smooth skin with a plush lining, which lets the hood pull on and off without dragging hair while still sealing on the skull. The neoprene is X-Foam, a limestone-based formulation meeting PAH and REACH limits, assembled with solvent-free glue. Thickness is listed as 5/3 mm on the product name while one material note cites 5/4 mm, so panel thicknesses are worth confirming against a current spec sheet before a cold-water order. Four sizes run XS/S to L/XL. There is no bib, so it layers over a wetsuit collar. It suits a cold-water diver wanting a sealed hood.
