Conquer the cold and extend your open water swimming season with the MADWAVE OPNWTR Neo Therm GDSKN Neoprene Hood. Engineered for dedicated swimmers who refuse to let dropping temperatures dictate their training, this high-performance swimming balaclava delivers exceptional thermal protection, comfort, and hydrodynamics. It´s the essential gear for maintaining core warmth and focus when swimming in chilly conditions.
Experience superior insulation and a competitive edge. This hood is meticulously designed to combat heat loss from the head, one of the most critical areas for temperature regulation. Its advanced thermal lining works tirelessly to trap body heat, allowing you to swim longer and more comfortably in cold water. The streamlined, anatomical shape not only ensures a snug, secure fit but also significantly reduces drag, letting you glide through the water with greater efficiency and speed. The innovative Glideskin outer surface actively sheds water, preventing the hood from becoming heavy and cold, ensuring you stay lighter and warmer throughout your swim.
Designed for a seamless and chafe-free experience, this neoprene hood integrates perfectly with your existing wetsuit. The thoughtful construction, including a dedicated chest warmer panel, creates a superior seal at the collar, effectively preventing cold water from flushing in. This transforms your standard wetsuit into a fully protected system, ready to take on the most demanding open water challenges.
