Waterproof H2 Polar Evoluted Hood - 5/10mm

Waterproof H2 Polar Evoluted Hood - 5/10mm

The Waterproof H2 Polar Evoluted Hood features 10mm double-layered protection in critical heat loss areas. Additionally, it utilises 5mm glideskin seals for the neck and face to ensure a dry, warm fit.

This high-performance diving hood includes the unique HAVS (Hood Air Venting System) for maximum comfort. This system uses one-way valves to vent annoying air buildup that often occurs during a dive. Consequently, you can maintain better buoyancy and focus on your underwater surroundings.

During numerous Polar trips, Waterproof discovered that many divers underestimate the extent of heat loss in extreme conditions. Modern technology allows longer dives, making hypothermia a significant risk. Therefore, the engineers created the Polar Evoluted series to protect divers during these extended excursions.

The hood uses I-Span super-stretch nylon to provide a flexible yet snug fit. This premium construction guarantees that you stay warm even in the most challenging environments.

Hood Features

• Thermal Protection: Features 10mm neoprene in key areas to prevent rapid heat loss.
• 3D Shaped: Ergonomic design follows the natural contours of your head for a better fit.
• HAVS System: Integrated Hood Air Venting System effectively releases trapped air.
• Premium Seals: High-quality glideskin seals minimise water exchange at the face and neck.
• Durable Build: Constructed with I-Span super-stretch nylon and bonded high-quality nylon thread.

Highlights

• Polar Evoluted: Part of a specialised series designed for extreme cold-water diving.
• Venting Technology: Dual one-way valves ensure a streamlined profile without air pockets.
• Superior Comfort: Soft interior materials and anatomical shaping reduce jaw fatigue.

Please note: Waterproof recommends that when purchasing thicker neoprene hoods, users should choose one size larger.
