Why Zirconium?
Zirconium is the warmest thermal lining we use in our wetsuits and accessories.
It helps reflect body heat back towards you, creating a warmer microclimate inside the hood and maximising warmth without unnecessary bulk.
Benefits include:
-
Improved heat retention

Reduced wind chill
-
Faster drying between sessions

Greater comfort during long periods in cold water
If you're the person reaching for an extra layer while everyone else seems comfortable, you'll appreciate the difference.

Stay Warmer. Stay Out Longer.
The 3mm Chill Hood Ultra helps take the edge off cold water, cold wind and long winter sessions, so you can focus less on the temperature and more on why you came out in the first place.
If winter is your favourite season and getting cold isn't, the Chill Hood Ultra was built for you.
