Description

Lightweight warmth. Maximum flexibility.

Experience comfortable thermal protection without unnecessary bulk with the Sharkskin Thermal Flex Hood.

Designed for active watersports, this versatile hood combines flexible technical fabric, advanced thermal technology, and a streamlined fit to help protect your head and neck during water-based activities.

Whether you’re swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, or paddling, the Thermal Flex Hood provides lightweight coverage that moves comfortably with you.

Its quick-drying construction and windchill protection also make it a useful accessory for surface intervals and other activities around the water.

Titanium far-infrared thermal technology

The Thermal Flex Hood incorporates Sharkskin’s titanium far-infrared (FIR) technology, designed to enhance thermal performance without relying on thick neoprene construction.

By combining this technology with lightweight technical fabric, Sharkskin provides a flexible thermal garment that offers more warmth than a conventional rash guard while maintaining freedom of movement.

This makes the Thermal Flex Hood particularly appealing to divers and watersports enthusiasts who want added thermal protection without the bulk of a traditional neoprene hood.

Flexible, low-bulk construction

The hood uses high-density Lycra-based fabric designed to stretch comfortably and move naturally with the wearer.

Its streamlined construction helps reduce drag during swimming and other active watersports.

The lightweight material also makes the hood easy to pack, store, and carry in a dive bag or watersports kit.

Windchill protection

Wind can quickly make surface activities uncomfortable, particularly when your head and hair are wet.

The Thermal Flex Hood is designed to help protect against windchill, providing an additional layer of comfort while preparing equipment, traveling on a boat, or enjoying a surface interval.

UPF 50+ sun protection

Long days on the water mean extended exposure to sunlight.

The Thermal Flex Hood provides UPF 50+ protection, helping shield covered areas of the head and neck from harmful ultraviolet radiation.

This makes it a practical choice for snorkeling, swimming, paddling, boating, and other activities where sun protection is important.

Quick-drying performance

The Thermal Flex material is designed to resist excessive water absorption and dry quickly.

This helps improve comfort when transitioning between the water and the surface, making the hood particularly useful for watersports involving repeated periods of immersion.

Comfortable head and neck coverage

The hood’s close-fitting design provides coverage around the head and extends down the neck.

Its flexible construction allows comfortable movement while providing a streamlined fit suitable for active use.

The low-profile design may also make it a practical additional layer beneath compatible exposure protection, provided the combined fit remains comfortable and does not interfere with equipment.
