BARE Exowear Hood

The ExoWear Hood provides the maximum thermal protection available in a neutrally buoyant exposure-protection hood and is designed for multi-sport use. ExoWear Hood offers great protection and additional warmth for your head during cold water activities. OMNIRED™ Infrared Technology in the hood’s fabric converts your outbound heat into infrared energy and reflects it back to your head for thermal warmth. 3-Layer Fabric protects from the harshest elements with materials that are water repellant, windproof, breathable, quick-drying, wicking, and anti-microbial.

Omnired™ Technology:
– OMNIRED™ Infrared Technology applies 13 thermo-reactive minerals woven into the suit’s fabric to convert outbound body heat into infrared energy and reflect it back to your body. Infrared energy has been proven to improve the body’s circulation. Increased circulation improves oxygen levels in the body, enabling you to use less energy, improve overall warmth and increase your time in the water.

Three-layer Fabric:
– Whether diving, kayaking, or stand up paddle boarding, ExoWear’s innovative 3-Layer Fabric protects you from the harshest elements. An outer layer, membrane and inner fleece feature properties that are water repellant, windproof, breathable, quick-drying, wicking, and anti-microbial.

Outer Layer:
– UV resistant outer layer has a durable water-repellent finish to provide a protective shell that sheds water, absorbs less water, and decreases drying time.

Membrane:
– Windproof and highly breathable membrane provides maximum comfort during high-exertion watersports and helps regulate body temperature while preventing wind chill.

Inner Fleece:
– Anti-Microbial with Hydrophobic technology and quick-dry fleece coatings mean less stink and a more easily packable suit to transport to your next destination or dive site.

4-WAY STRETCH:
– Freedom of movement is essential in the water. ExoWear’s 4-Way Stretch is superior to the more common 2-Way Stretch by stretching in both directions and providing more elasticity and breathability of the fabric.
