Sharkskin Chillproof Beanie (Unisex)

The Sharkskin Chillproof Beanie is a warm hat for the windy boat ride out to the dive site and the surface interval after you climb back aboard. It is also built for paddling, board sports, jet skiing, boating and sailing, where wind hits your head first. Sharkskin points out that more than 25% of body heat is lost through the head and extremities, so covering up makes a real difference.

How the Beanie Keeps You Warm

Chillproof fabric covers more than 90% of the head area. It is a three-layer composite with a Nylon/Spandex outer face and a windproof membrane, lined with fleece that sits soft against your scalp. Around the ears, a micro fleece band fits comfortably while still letting you hear the dive briefing.

• Windproof, breathable membrane that cuts windchill without making you sweat
• DWR finish so spray beads up and rolls off
• UPF50+ sun protection
• Itch and odor resistance for wearing it all day

Sizing and Colors

The beanie is unisex. Sizes run from XS/S up to XL/2XL, with M/L in between, and the 4-way stretch fabric lets it fit closely without squeezing. Pick from Black, Blue, Pink, Red or Yellow, or choose the Reflective version if you want a little extra visibility around the water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you wear the Sharkskin Chillproof Beanie in the water?

Yes. It is made from the same aquatic-specific Chillproof fabric as Sharkskin's thermal wear and is designed for watersports like paddling, sailing and jet skiing. For time underwater on scuba, a dive hood such as the Sharkskin Chillproof Hood is the better fit.

Can I hear while wearing the beanie?

Yes. The micro fleece band over the ears is designed to fit comfortably while still allowing you to hear.

Is the Chillproof Beanie windproof?

Yes. Chillproof includes a 100% windproof membrane, which is why the beanie works so well on fast boat rides and breezy sailing days.
