The NeoSport 5/3mm Unisex Vented Bibbed Hood (SKU: SH53N) is engineered to deliver heavy-duty thermal insulation for scuba diving in cold to freezing water conditions.
Featuring a dual-thickness neoprene construction and an integrated vent system, this hood maximizes thermal retention around the head while maintaining flexibility around the neck and chest collar.
Layering is the key to warmth when we scuba dive. By layering we breathe slower conserve our air supply allowing us to make longer and more enjoyable dives. Smart design pays big dividends in comfort with this multi-thickness hood. The thinner, oversized bib is made to tuck easily into wetsuits forming additional layering for a good seal and an overall anatomical shape that helps eliminate sags and air pockets.
This newly designed hood for comfort and function has a face seal that can be trimmed-to-precisely match your mask skirt seal. Make longer and more comfortable dives. NeoSport 5/3mm Vented Bib Hood, integrated flow vent allows bubbles to escape through the top of the hood without promoting water exchange. All seams are glued and stitched for durability and to limit water exchange. The hood body is made from premium nylon 2 neoprene 5mm material with the bib being 3mm. The Hood is black in color and is available in multiple sizes.
5/3mm Dual-Thickness Neoprene: Constructed with 5mm premium foam neoprene over the head crown to insulate against head heat loss, paired with 3mm neoprene around the neck and bib for flexible head rotation.
Integrated Vent Valve: Features an air-venting flow valve at the top of the hood that allows trapped regulator exhaust and air bubbles to escape automatically without letting cold water seep in.
Extended Bib Skirt: Designed with an elongated lower bib skirt that tucks securely beneath a full wetsuit collar, creating a barrier that minimizes cold-water flushing around the neck.
Trimmable Smooth-Skin Face Seal: Equipped with a skin-out neoprene face seal that conforms tightly around cheeks and chin; can be custom trimmed to match your dive mask skirt seal perfectly.
Glued & Blindstitched (GBS) Seams: Every seam is double-glued and blindstitched to form a durable, watertight bond that stops cold water from circulating through the stitching.
Anatomical Curved Fit: Ergonomically patterned to follow the natural contours of the head and neck, reducing jaw fatigue and neck strain during long dives.
Versatile Unisex Fit: Cut with a flexible multi-panel construction to fit a wide range of male and female divers comfortably.

Thanks for the question. With a 17 inch neck the XL would be a better fit to insure no restriction on the neck.

I dove last week in 60 degree water and this hood made sure I was nice and toasty!

The hood is a xxl size and it still feels a little tight. I don’t have a big head. I plan on using it for the summer water temps but probably would not buy the same brand for the winter diving. You pay for what you get.
Thank you for the feedback
