Its fabric is tested equivalent to 5mm neoprene and can be worn as primary exposure protection in water down to 68°F (20°C). In colder water it also works under a wetsuit or drysuit for added warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Titanium 2 Instead of Neoprene\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSharkskin points out several practical differences from neoprene:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThinner and easier to pull on and off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutrally buoyant, so you do not need extra weight to offset it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-compressible at depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be worn under wet or dry suits for additional thermal protection in colder water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fabric is Chillproof embedded with titanium nanoparticles that capture and retain more body heat. A hollow yarn fleece lines the inside to warm the water against your skin, and a one-way membrane blocks wind on the surface while letting moisture wick away. The outside is four-way stretch nylon\/lycra with a water-repellent finish that also resists abrasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes range from XSM to 3XL (XSM, SML, MED, LGE, XLG, XXL and 3XL). A hood keeps you warmest when it sits close around the face and neck without gaps, so pick the size that feels snug rather than loose. The four-way stretch outer helps it conform without squeezing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I wear the Sharkskin Titanium 2 Hood with a drysuit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, Sharkskin says Titanium 2 garments can be worn under wet or dry suits for additional thermal protection in colder water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the Titanium 2 Hood as warm as a 5mm hood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSharkskin's Titanium 2 range is tested equivalent to 5mm neoprene for thermal protection, even though the material is thinner than neoprene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Titanium 2 Hood affect buoyancy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, Titanium 2 garments are neutrally buoyant and non-compressible, which sets them apart from neoprene.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sharkskin","offers":[{"title":"XSM","offer_id":48143190032438,"sku":"SST2CPACHDXSM","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"SML","offer_id":48143190065206,"sku":"SST2CPACHDSML","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MED","offer_id":48143190097974,"sku":"SST2CPACHDMED","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LGE","offer_id":48143190130742,"sku":"SST2CPACHDLGE","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XLG","offer_id":48143190163510,"sku":"SST2CPACHDXLG","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":48143190196278,"sku":"SST2CPACHDXXL","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL","offer_id":48143190229046,"sku":"SST2CPACHD3XL","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/5451\/4742\/files\/T2_Hood__Front.jpg?v=1792151244","url":"https:\/\/scubaschoolsofamerica.com\/products\/sharkskin-titanium-2-hood","provider":"Scuba Schools of America","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
