I’ve been using the Mares Tech Hood for over 20 dives now and I’m incredibly happy with its performance. The only thing I would say is that the straps could be a bit longer.

Zara Lim –
I recently purchased the Mares Tech Hood – 6.5.3mm for a diving trip and it exceeded my expectations. The material is incredibly lightweight, and the design provides excellent thermal insulation. My only minor complaint is that the waterproof zipper could be a bit easier to operate with thick gloves on.

Lucas Toh –
I’m planning to use the Mares Tech Hood – 6.5.3mm for scuba diving in cold water. Can I simply wear it on top of a wetsuit as a warm-up layer or is it meant to be worn underneath the wetsuit?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your review, Lucas. You can indeed wear the Mares Tech Hood – 6.5.3mm as a warm-up layer on top of your wetsuit or hood. However, the recommended usage would be to wear it underneath the wetsuit for optimal thermal protection. Wearing it on top may provide some additional warmth, but it may not allow for the same level of body heat retention as wearing it underneath. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to ask. We appreciate your feedback!

What’s the intended water temperature range for wearing the Mares Tech Hood – 6.5.3mm? Can I use it in extremely cold water?

Thank you for your review, Abigail Lee! The Mares Tech Hood – 6.5.3mm is designed for use in temperate to warm water conditions, suitable for temperatures ranging from 59°F to 82°F (15°C to 28°C). Unfortunately, it’s not intended for use in extremely cold water. For colder water, you may want to consider a wetsuit hood with a 7mm or thicker wadding for better insulation.
