O'Neill Thinskins 1.5 MM Neoprene Hood

This supplements the shorty wetsuit I purchased to continue swimming in an outdoor heated pool through the winter months.It definitely helps maintain body temperature while swimming.

This was a perfect addition to stretch the open water season. Kept me warmer than double swim caps but did not feel bulky at all. I was worried about the chinstrap getting in my way, but never once noticed it when swimming.

This product works well - easy to put on - holds silicone earplugs in place - keeps head warm. Ordered the extra large to accommodate head and long thick hair - everything tucks in easily with nice snug fit. If you have difficulty with a chin strap this might not be the hood for you but is actually quite comfortable and not noticeable when swimming. Not meant to keep head dry - does keep head warm in very cold water.

Use this for swimming, but also surfing on cool days. It stays on, is compact and comfy. No straps to fuss with. This makes a HUGE difference when swimming in cold water, your head stays warm and you stay warm! Surfing hoods are too bulky for swimming. Oneil gear is always the highest quality.

works well in the pool as well as bodyboarding keeping my noogles warm away from the wind worth every penny bought essentials thats needed for comfort
