The Waterproof H2 5/10mm High Visibility Hood is an anatomical 3D shaped, vented hood built in 100% Microcell limestone CR neoprene for cold and extremely cold water diving, with 10mm double-layered neoprene in critical heat-loss areas and a high visibility orange surface with reflective patches so a surfacing diver is easier to spot in choppy seas. It is part of the Waterproof Polar Evoluted series and is offered unisex in sizes XS to 2XL.
Who it is for
This hood suits divers in cold to extremely cold conditions who want added head insulation plus surface visibility. The high visibility orange shell and reflective patches help boat crews and buddies locate you in low light or choppy water, which makes it a practical choice for open ocean, surface swims, drift pickups and dark, murky inland sites. Because divers lose a large amount of heat through the head, the 10mm double-layered zones target the areas where that loss happens.
