Dry Suits Smooth Hood 4mm Black-Grey XL Mares 415799XL

Description:

The Mares XR3 4 mm Smooth Hood for Drysuit is engineered to keep the head warm while preserving full freedom of movement during dives. Constructed from ultra-elastic 4 mm neoprene, the hood contours closely to the anatomy of the diver’s head to minimize water ingress and provide a soft, comfortable seal against the neck. Its smooth exterior reduces drag and helps form a reliable interface with drysuit neck seals for improved thermal performance. The hood’s stretch characteristics allow easy donning and a snug fit without pressure points, making it comfortable for extended use. At 4 mm thickness it is ideal for medium-cold to warm water diving, offering a balanced mix of insulation and flexibility. The unisex XL sizing meets the needs of adult divers who require a larger fit while maintaining streamlined performance.

Key Features:

• High-quality ultra-elastic 4 mm neoprene for warmth and flexibility
• Anatomically contoured fit that follows the shape of the head to reduce flushing
• Smooth exterior surface to lower drag and improve drysuit neck-seal compatibility
• Soft, comfortable material for long-duration wear without pressure points
• Designed specifically for use with drysuits while still allowing full range of motion
• Unisex design in XL to accommodate a wide range of adult head sizes
• Lightweight, low-profile construction to minimize bulk under helmets or hoods
• Suitable thickness for medium-cold to warm water diving conditions
