Technical data
A 7 mm thick neoprene balaclava, plush inside, sleeved at the face with preformed chin strap. The gray central band is made of stretch neoprene to adapt to the shape of the head. The Air Expulse system evacuates air bubbles trapped in the hood. It features a snap hook for attachment to the right thigh of the wetsuit.
Glued and sewn joints - GBS
The balaclava's seams are watertight, assembled using GBS (Glued and Blind Stitched): the neoprene is first glued, then sewn for maximum strength (the needle does not pass completely through the neoprene to prevent water infiltration).
Modulate your thickness, modulate your heat!
When diving, the cold is our worst enemy! You need thermal protection to match the water temperature. To avoid having a wetsuit for every condition, the concept has been developed around 5 products that can be combined with your wetsuit depending on the temperature.
You can thus complete your thermal insulation with a balaclava, a neoprene top (mouse), a top with balaclava, an undershorty 1 mm or an overshorty 5.5 mm.
Tips for maintaining your wetsuit
1) After each session, soak the suit in clear water on both the inside and outside.
2) Use a bactericidal solution to sanitize.
3) Rinse well in clear water.
4) Dry on a wide hanger in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Caution: the sun discolors the textile parts of the suit and accelerates the aging of the neoprene. Zippers can be cleaned with a toothbrush and lubricated with silicone grease.
Certification
This scuba diving hood offers thermal protection tested by the independent institute INPP (Marseille-France) to validate compliance with the current standard (NF EN 14225-1:2005).
