AKONA 5/3mm QUANTUM STRETCH BIBBED HOOD
The Akona 5/3mm Quantum Stretch Bibbed Hood is a high-performance, cold-water thermal accessory designed for scuba divers who demand maximum heat retention without sacrificing comfort or head mobility.
By utilizing Akona’s elite, limestone-based Quantum Stretch neoprene, this pull-over hood eliminates the rigid, restrictive feel of traditional thick headgear, conforming naturally to the unique contours of your head and neck.
Presenting Akona's double coverage vented top hood featuring a skin face seal for enhanced protection. Crafted with our signature 5/3mm Quantum Stretch material, this hood ensures effortless donning and doffing, prioritizing convenience without compromising on quality.
Superior Thermal Protection for Cold Water Diving
The Akona 5/3mm Bibbed Hood offers unparalleled warmth and comfort for divers exploring colder waters. Made with premium Quantum stretch neoprene, this 5mm neoprene diving hood combines flexibility and durability for superior performance. Its bibbed design ensures a secure fit while reducing water entry, making it an essential accessory for cold-water diving.
Advanced Ventilation and Face Seal Design
Designed with a double coverage vented top, this hood prevents air from being trapped, providing increased comfort and ease of use. The skin face seal offers a snug fit, effectively keeping water out while providing optimal thermal protection. These features make the Akona Quantum stretch hood a standout choice for divers needing reliability in cold conditions.
Durable Construction for Long-Lasting Use
The glued and blind-stitched seams enhance durability, ensuring that the Akona 5/3mm Bibbed Hood stands up to the rigors of frequent dives. The hood's super-stretch neoprene allows for easy donning and doffing, making it user-friendly and practical for all divers.
Flexible and Comfortable Layering
Whether worn alone or as part of your dive gear, the Akona 5/3mm Bibbed Hood excels as a perfect layering piece. Its ergonomic design and flexible materials allow for maximum movement, ensuring a comfortable dive experience without compromising on thermal insulation.
Diver's Configuration Tip: To get the absolute most out of your bibbed hood, always tuck the bib underneath your wetsuit's main collar before zipping the wetsuit up completely. This locks the bib flat against your chest and back, creating an impenetrable barrier against cold currents.
FEATURES:
Strategic 5/3mm Hybrid Thickness: Engineered with a variable-thickness design to maximize performance. The main crown and head panels are constructed from thick 5mm neoprene to insulate the areas with the highest heat loss. Conversely, the face seal, neck, and bib utilize ultra-pliant 3mm neoprene to allow effortless side-to- side head rotation and eliminate jaw fatigue.
Quantum Stretch Technology: Formulated to provide up to 200% more elasticity than standard petroleum-based neoprene. This extreme stretch profile makes pulling the hood on and off exceptionally easy, while drastically reducing pressure against the ears and jawline.
Generous Protective Cold-Water Bib: Features a large, anatomically shaped bib designed to tuck deeply beneath your wetsuit collar. This creates a secure, overlapping thermal barrier that drastically reduces cold-water exchange and prevents water from flushing down your back.
Grip-Lock Smooth-Skin Face Seal: The interior face opening is lined with a smooth-skin neoprene finish. This material grips comfortably against your face, creating an optimized seal that minimizes water tracking while allowing your dive mask skirt to layer perfectly over the top.
Automatic One-Way Air Vent: Outfitted with a specialized micro-vent at the crown of the head. This allows trapped regulator exhaust bubbles or expanding air to vent out of the hood automatically, preventing "ballooning" or shifting during your dive.
