What material is the hood made of? It feels quite soft and lightweight?

Thank you for your question, Kevin! The Seac Standard 0.5mm Hood is actually made of Neoprene, a synthetic rubber material known for its softness and flexibility. The lightweight feel is also a characteristic of Neoprene, making it a popular choice for wetsuits and hood accessories. I hope this answers your question!

Is the 0.5mm thickness suitable for SCUBA diving? I’m a bit worried it might not be enough?
Imran Hanafiah –
Hello Rachel Tan, thank you for reaching out to us about the Seac Standard 0.5mm Hood. I completely understand your concern about the thickness, especially for SCUBA diving. According to our safety guidelines, the 0.5mm thickness is suitable for casual swimming and snorkeling. However, for SCUBA diving, we recommend at least a 1mm thickness. If you’re looking for a more secure option, I’d be happy to recommend our thicker hoods. Please let me know if you need further assistance or recommendations. We value your safety and feedback.

How does the hood’s gasket perform in cold water conditions, does it stay sealed properly?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your concern about the performance of the Seac Standard 0.5mm Hood’s gasket in cold water conditions. We understand the importance of a seal in such conditions. Our product is designed to perform well in a variety of conditions, but we’ve received feedback that in extremely cold water, there might be a slight compromise on the seal. However, this is typically not a concern for general diving use. We can assure you that our product’s gasket is designed to withstand the pressures and temperatures encountered in most diving scenarios. If you’d like, we can help you explore ways to optimize your dive gear for better performance in cold water conditions.
