Whites Drywear 7/5mm GRIPPER Hood – neoprene hood for dry suits

The Whites Drywear 7/5mm GRIPPER Hood is a highly insulating neoprene hood designed specifically for divers using dry suits. The combination of 7mm and 5mm neoprene panels provides effective thermal insulation and helps keep your head warm even when diving in cold water.

The hood features a sophisticated cut and high-quality materials for a comfortable fit. The design is engineered to help reduce water ingress while providing ample comfort during long dives.

7mm and 5mm neoprene for thermal comfort

The combination of different neoprene thicknesses allows for optimal distribution of thermal insulation across the various parts of the hood. 7mm neoprene provides high thermal protection, while 5mm panels contribute to better flexibility and a comfortable fit.

The 5mm neoprene face seal features a Glideskin-coated inner surface that helps minimize water ingress and enhances comfort against the skin.

Adjustable face seal

The face seal can be trimmed as needed, allowing you to adjust its shape for the most precise, personalized fit. A properly adjusted seal helps limit water ingress and enhances thermal comfort during the dive.

Air Release System™

The design incorporates the patented Air Release System™, which allows air trapped in the upper part of the hood to escape. This helps reduce air buildup during descent and while diving.

Durable Seam Construction

The individual neoprene panels are joined using a triple-glued and blind-stitched construction. This design increases seam strength while helping to minimize water ingress through the seams.
