O’Neill 3mm Coldwater Hood (Black, X-Large) This O’Neill coldwater hood in the color black makes use of neoprene that measures 3mm in thickness. The material is blind-stitched and glued for added protection from water infiltration, as well as the possibility of the suit ripping or tearing. The hood is resistant to wind, and has a “smooth skin exterior”. The interior employs a thermo layer for added comfort and warmth, and the visor serves to block san, and also channels water. A drawstring on the face area can be adjusted to fit the size of one’s face. Consider this wetsuit hood if you get cold easily, or you want or need extra protection for your head. This hood is ideal for use in cold weather as well, because neoprene is an effective material for blocking cold and preventing hypothermia, provided that the fit of the material is right. A neoprene wetsuit or hood that fits too tightly has a higher tendency to stretch and lose its shape. This is why it is essential to get a snug-fitting wetsuit – nothing loose, or too tight. The best thing about this hood is the drawstrings, since they can be used to conform to the size of each head. |
