Description

Advanced thermal protection without the bulk

Stay comfortable in and out of the water with the Sharkskin Titanium 2 Hood, a lightweight thermal diving hood designed to provide warmth, flexibility, and protection without the bulk of traditional neoprene.

Made with Sharkskin’s advanced Titanium 2 Chillproof material, this hood combines titanium-enhanced thermal technology with a soft fleece interior and windproof construction.

Whether you’re diving in cooler water, snorkeling, or looking for an additional thermal layer beneath your existing hood, the Titanium 2 delivers versatile protection in a streamlined design.

Titanium-enhanced Chillproof technology

Sharkskin’s Titanium 2 fabric incorporates titanium nanoparticles designed to reflect and retain body heat.

The result is improved thermal protection in a thin, flexible material that maintains the comfort and freedom of movement associated with Sharkskin’s original Chillproof range.

Sharkskin describes its Titanium 2 material as providing thermal protection comparable to approximately 4–5mm neoprene, depending on the product and testing reference.

Advanced three-layer construction

The Titanium 2 Hood incorporates three specialized layers that work together to provide warmth and comfort.

Soft fleece interior: A hollow-fiber fleece lining sits comfortably against the skin and helps maintain a warm insulating layer.

Windproof middle membrane: A breathable technical membrane blocks windchill at the surface while allowing moisture to move away from the inner layer.

Durable outer layer: A water-repellent, abrasion-resistant fabric provides flexibility, durability, and four-way stretch.

This combination makes the Titanium 2 a practical option both underwater and during surface intervals.

Lightweight and neutrally buoyant

Unlike conventional neoprene, Sharkskin’s Titanium 2 material is designed to be neutrally buoyant and non-compressible.

This allows divers to add thermal protection without introducing the same buoyancy characteristics associated with thicker neoprene garments.

Its low-bulk construction also makes the hood easy to pack and convenient to wear as an additional layer.

Extended neck coverage

The Titanium 2 Hood features a wide collar that extends down over the neck and shoulders.

This design provides additional coverage and allows the hood to overlap with compatible wetsuits and Sharkskin exposure garments.

The flexible material also allows the hood to be pulled down around the neck when additional head coverage isn’t required.

Additional warmth beneath a neoprene hood

For divers who need more insulation, the Titanium 2 can be worn beneath a compatible traditional neoprene hood.

Its thin, flexible construction makes it a useful supplemental layer without adding the thickness of a second conventional neoprene hood.

Always ensure the combined hood configuration fits comfortably and doesn’t interfere with mask sealing or equipment operation.

Windproof comfort between dives

Cold wind can make surface intervals uncomfortable, especially when your exposure protection is wet.

The Titanium 2’s windproof membrane helps reduce windchill, providing welcome protection while gearing up, traveling between dive sites, or waiting on the boat.

Flexible, quick-drying performance

Four-way stretch construction provides a comfortable fit and makes the hood easy to put on and remove.

The material is designed to dry quickly while being worn, making it suitable for repeated use throughout a day of diving.
