Neoprene Diving Hood – 3mm/5mm

This neoprene diving hood is a pull-on head cover for cold-water diving and surface water sports, supplied in a plain black colourway and in a printed variant. It is built from CR, SCR or SBR double-sided composite neoprene at 3 mm or 5 mm, with blind-stitched seams as standard and 4-needle 6-thread stitching available as an alternative. Importers, dive shops and rental fleets can order it in XS-XXL or custom sizes with their own logo, print artwork and packing through our OEM/ODM programme.

Key Features

• CR, SCR or SBR double-sided composite neoprene in 3 mm for warm-water diving and 5 mm for colder water, so one hood pattern covers two thickness bands in your range.
• Blind-stitched seams are the standard build: the needle does not run fully through both panels, so the seam closes against water exchange and leaves no exposed thread to rub.
• 4-needle 6-thread stitching can be specified instead, where a heavier seam suits rental or dive-school stock that is inspected often.
• The elastic close fit and stretch edge at the face opening hold the hood seated through entries, turns and mask changes, and reduce flushing of cold water across the scalp.
• The neoprene shell shields the scalp from cold wind, UV exposure and sharp objects on the surface, which matters on long boat rides and on shore entries.
• Plain black for uniform fleet sets, and a printed hood variant for retail programmes that need a visible brand look on the shelf.
• XS-XXL grading with custom sizes, so the hood fits the same size run as your wetsuits.

FAQ

Q: Do you supply this hood in both 3 mm and 5 mm?
A: Yes. Both thicknesses use the same pattern and blind-stitched build, so a shop can offer a warm-water and a cold-water version from one size run.

Q: Can we order the printed variant with our own design?
A: Yes. Send the artwork and we will confirm placement and colour on a pre-production sample before bulk production starts.

Q: What keeps the hood in place during a dive?
A: The elastic close fit and stretch face opening hold it against the head; the correct size from the XS-XXL chart keeps the edge seated rather than lifting at the surface.

Q: What is the minimum order and lead time?
A: 50 pcs per colour. Samples take 7-10 days and bulk production 25-35 days after sample approval, packed 1 pc per polybag, 40 pcs per carton.
