Why Wear a Wetsuit Hood?
New Zealand has a diverse climate. While the North Island enjoys warm, subtropical summers, some areas in the South Island can experience negative temperatures during winter. But if you're like us and don't want to put your surfboard away just because of cold temperatures, a wetsuit hood is essential.
A wetsuit cap, or surf hood, is designed to trap heat and keep you warmer in the water. It protects your head, one of the body parts that loses heat the fastest. Wearing a hood can prevent that sudden headache you might get from plunging into freezing water. It also keeps your hair out of your face so you can focus on surfing.
Wearing a wetsuit hood will also help minimise common surfers' ear problems like pain and infections. A high-quality wetsuit cap keeps you warmer, safer, and more comfortable when braving the cold water temperatures of New Zealand.
