Sharkskin Chillproof Hood

The Sharkskin hood design provides the best insulation and protection for cold dives and activities, helping to retain the 25% of body heat that is lost through the head.
The hood can either be worn under a conventional neoprene hood for extra warmth or by itself in more tropical waters. The Chillproof material is made from 3 layers to provide you with unparalleled warmth from the quick drying fleece in the first layer, wind and water protection from the middle layer and SPF30 sun protection from the top layer
Features
- 100% Windproof providing protection from wind chill when wet.
- Breathes to minimise overheating and wicks moisture away from the skin
- Warmth of a 2.5 - 3mm conventional wetsuit
- Neutrally buoyant
- 4-way stretch ensures garments are non-restrictive allowing a full range of movement
- Non-chaffing itch and odour resistant inner means that garments can be worn for long periods of time
- Lightweight and quick drying makes garments ideal for travel
- Excellent sun protection (SPF 30+, 50+ on Rapid Dry)
- Durable and looks great
- Designed and made in Australia
How it works
- The comfortable 'hollow yarn' fleece layer is next to the skin and 'wicks' moisture and sweat away from the body to help keep you dry.
- The second middle 'technical' layer is 100% windproof yet breathes to regulate body temperature while stopping windchill.
- The third outer layer is a nylon/lycra blend for abrasion resistance and 4 way stretch. It is also UV resistant for sun protection and has a durable water repellent finish (DWR) to provide a protective shell that 'sheds' water.
