Tips to choose a surf wetsuit hood
A surf hood is a type of headgear worn by surfers to protect against cold water and wind. It is typically made of neoprene, a synthetic rubber material that is excellent at insulating and providing warmth. Surf hoods come in different styles, including full face hoods, which cover the entire head and neck, and shorter hoods, which cover just the head and leave the neck exposed. Some surf hoods also have a visor or brim to provide extra protection from the sun and water splashes. You can buy the surf hood from these brands: Jobe, O´neill wetsuits, Rip Curl, Quiksilver, and Seland. A surfing hood is an essential piece of equipment for surfers who regularly surf in cold water or areas with cold air temperatures. They help prevent heat loss from the head and keep surfers warm, which is crucial for maintaining energy and endurance in the water. Additionally, a surfing hood can also help protect the surfers ears and prevent surfers from getting ear infections.Choosing the right surf wetsuit hood is essential to keep your head and neck warm while in the water. Here are some tips to help you select the right surf wetsuit hood:
Material thickness: Wetsuit hoods are available in various thicknesses, typically measured in millimeters mm. The right thickness depends on the water temperature and personal preference:
1 2mm: Suitable for warmer waters
3mm: Good for mild to cool waters
4 5mm: Ideal for cold waters
Hood style:
There are different hood styles to choose from, including:
Pull on hoods: These are like a beanie and cover your head and neck.
Attached hoods: Some wetsuits come with an integrated hood that you cant remove.
Hooded vests: These provide additional warmth and can be worn with a separate wetsuit or board shorts.
Fit: The hood should fit snugly but not be overly tight. A good fit will ensure that it stays in place and doesn´t allow water to enter. Make sure to try on different sizes and styles to find the one that suits you best.
Seams: Look for hoods with glued and blind stitched GBS seams. GBS seams are more durable and help prevent water from seeping in.
Ventilation: Some hoods have ventilation systems, like vents or perforations, to allow excess air to escape and prevent your head from feeling too buoyant. These features can also help reduce the risk of the hood being pulled off by strong waves.
Coverage: Ensure that the hood provides adequate coverage for your head and neck. The neck seal should be snug but not restrictive to keep water out effectively.
Material: Neoprene is the most common material for wetsuit hoods. Look for high quality neoprene that is comfortable and flexible. Some hoods also have a lining material, such as thermal fleece, to enhance warmth and comfort.
