Dry Suits Smooth Hood 7mm Black-Grey XL Mares 415800XL

Description:

The Mares XR3 7mm Smooth Hood for Drysuit is engineered to keep the head warm and protected during cold-water dives while allowing total freedom of movement. Constructed from high‑quality ultra‑elastic 7mm neoprene, the hood contours closely to the diver’s anatomy to minimize water intrusion and maximize thermal insulation. Its smooth exterior and soft interior deliver a comfortable, low‑profile fit that reduces bulk under drysuit collars and improves seal performance. The hood’s stretchable construction and anatomical shaping preserve range of motion for the neck and shoulders, making it suitable for prolonged dives and technical maneuvers. Durable seams and neoprene finish ensure long service life even with frequent use in harsh conditions. Ideal for cold and very cold water diving, the hood also pairs well with masks, drysuit neck seals and neoprene accessories for complete thermal protection.
