Apeks ThermiQ Hood

With the new 5mm Apeks ThermiQ Hood you experience a warmer dive with reduced flushing and water ingress. It is made of super-stretchy limestone neoprene that moulds to the head and neck while staying flexible for ease of movement and comfort.

With a Graphene fleece lining, Apeks ThermiQ Hood reduces heat loss from the head, increasing the temperature by an average of 2°C with equalisation of heat from warmer to colder areas.

What is Graphene Lining?

Graphene, used in Apeks ThermiQ Hood, is a one-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice and conducts heat better than any material on earth. Graphene equalises the body temperature – transferring heat from warmer parts of the body to colder parts - without the need for a power source. It increases the body temperature by an average of 2°C and has earned itself the “wonder material” title.
