Designed for regular SCUBA divers in waters between 16 °C and 24 °C.
A 4/3/2 mm diving hood to be worn with your wetsuit, to adapt your insulation to the diving environment
Thermal insulation
4/3/2 mm stretch neoprene hood for greater elasticity.
Freedom of movement
Stretch neoprene with ventilation system.
Versatility
Collar pouch to store the hood under the wetsuit and prevent water inflow.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Technical specifications
4/3/2 mm thick neoprene balaclava Stretch neoprene around the neck and ears to ease movement and best adapt to all shapes.Air Expulse system: a system to evacuate air bubbles trapped in the hood. The central grey band is made of stretch neoprene to best adapt to the shape of the head.Weight: 165 g (with production tolerance).
GBS (glued and blind stitched) assembly
The seams of the balaclava are watertight, sewn with GBS stitching (Glued and Blind Stitched): Neoprene is bonded and then stitched to ensure maximum resistance (the needle does not go all the way through the neoprene, preventing leaks).
Adjust the thickness, adjust your warmth!
When diving, cold is your worst enemy! Using the right thermal protection based on the water temperature, is essential. To avoid having to purchase different wetsuits for different diving conditions, we created the concept, with five pieces that can be combined with your wetsuit depending on the temperature. In this way, you can complete your thermal insulation with a hood, a neoprene top, a top with a hood, a 1 mm under-shorty or a 5.5 mm over-shorty.
Tips to look after your balaclava diving hood
1) Soak the inside and the outside of the wetsuit in clean water after each session.2) Clean with a bactericide solution. 3) Rinse thoroughly in clean water. 4) Dry on a wide hanger in a dark and well ventilated place. Caution: the sun will cause the colours of the textile parts of the wetsuit to fade and speeds up the ageing process of the neoprene.Zip fasteners can be cleaned with a toothbrush and lubricated with silicone grease.

OUR COMMITMENTS
Our technical partner: Planet Ocean (the PADI 5-star diving centre) based at the Water Sports Centre by Decathlon in Hendaye - France.The centre uses SUBEA diving equipment throughout the year. The team of instructors are rigorously involved in the development of our SUBEA products: from the design phase with the teams (product managers, designers and engineers), to the endurance tests with the help of the centre’s divers (from beginners to trainee instructors, all year long).
Test ProductDesigned and tested by our teams and our technical partner in Hendaye (France) to approve the thermal insulation.
