Hoods and Beanies
Oceansports stocks a wide selection of high-quality wetsuit hoods and beanies that are essential for any water activity.
Our hoods and beanies are perfect for scuba diving, free diving, spearfishing and surfing.
They are designed to provide maximum comfort and insulation, while also keeping your head and ears protected from the cold water. They feature a snug fit and durable material that will last for many seasons. With our hoods and beanies, you’ll be able to enjoy your time in the water without any distractions.
Our Wetsuit hoods are made from Lycra, Ultraspan neoprene or Chillproof materials and maintain your body temperature warmer for an extended time, even when diving or snorkelling in cold water.
All our wetsuit hoods feature long necks so you can tuck them under your wetsuit for a snug and tight fit.
Hoods are great for keeping distracting hair out of your face (particularly important for streamlined free divers).
Wearing a wetsuit hood may protect your ears from frequent swimmers’ ear or surfer’s ear, and the cold windchill outdoors.
How to care for your wet suit hood
To ensure that your wetsuit hood lasts as long as possible, there are a few steps you can take to look after it.
Firstly, rinse the hood with fresh water after each use to remove any salt, sand or other debris that may have collected on it. This will also help to prevent any bacteria or mold from forming.
Secondly, hang the hood to air dry in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight or heat, as this can cause damage to the fabric.
Thirdly, store the hood in a dry place such as a ventilated closet or gear bag.
Lastly, inspect your hood regularly for any signs of wear and tear, and replace it when necessary.
By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your wetsuit hood remains in good condition for years to come.
