With a good neoprene hood, you can extend the season by several months. Reduces heat loss.
Neoprene insulates your head and reduces heat transfer to the cold water. Protects your ears. Cold water in your ears can cause pain, discomfort, and, in some people, dizziness. Reduces the discomfort of the cold. The face, forehead, and head are sensitive to the cold. A hood can make those first few minutes in the water significantly more comfortable.
Improves comfort during longer swim sessions. Especially during open-water swimming, swimruns, and long-distance swimming. Can contribute to greater safety. By reducing heat loss and discomfort; however, a hood does not prevent hypothermia and is never a substitute for other safety measures.
When should you use a neoprene hood? There are no exact temperature limits that apply to everyone, but the following is a practical guide:
Water Temperature/Recommendation
Above 20 °C
A regular swim cap is usually sufficient
16–20 °C
A neoprene hood can increase comfort
12–16 °C
A neoprene hood is recommended
8–12 °C
A neoprene hood is strongly recommended
Below 8 °C
Requires special acclimatization to cold water and safety planning
A 2–3 mm neoprene hood is often a good choice for regular open-water swimming. In even colder water, a thicker hood may be appropriate.
