Wetsuit Hoods
Keep the Cold Out of Your Winter Sessions
You lose a lot of heat through your head, and in cold water that is the difference between a long session and a short one. A neoprene wetsuit hood traps warmth, cuts down ice-cream headache in the surf and keeps wind chill off your ears on the paddle out. The hoods here come in a range of thicknesses to match the season, with flatlock or glued and blind-stitched seams and a snug fit that seals without restricting movement.
The Right Thickness for the Season
Thinner hoods suit autumn and spring when the water has not fully dropped, while thicker hoods are made for the depths of winter. A good seal around the face is what keeps the flush out, so fit matters as much as thickness. Browse the range below and pair a hood with wetsuit gloves and boots to keep every extremity covered through the cold months.
