Fit and Use
Choose a close fit that allows comfortable head movement. Check the face opening with your mask skirt and, where applicable, the neck or bib with your suit collar. For a hooded vest, check the extra layer inside the wetsuit so the combined fit does not restrict breathing or shoulder movement.
Additional Product Information
The Apeks Thermiq Hood combines 5mm stretch neoprene with a graphene fleece lining for a flexible thermal layer around the head and neck. Smooth seals help limit flushing, and the neck section is designed to sit beneath a compatible wetsuit collar.
Choose the size that sits comfortably around your head without restricting movement. Check the overlap with your wetsuit collar when fitting the hood.
Gear Care and Washing
Dive Gear Australia recommends Cressi Neoclean Wetsuit Wash or Revivex Wetsuit Shampoo for compatible neoprene. Regular cleaning helps remove salt, chlorine and everyday residue and, together with thorough drying and proper storage, helps extend your gear’s life. Use the label dilution and follow this product’s care instructions.
Rinse inside and out in cool fresh water after every use to remove salt, chlorine, sand and residue. Gently hand wash when needed with a material-compatible wetsuit cleaner at its specified dilution, following the garment label, then rinse thoroughly.
Keep any vent openings clear and settle face and neck seals gently when dressing. Dry the lining and inside of the hood fully before storage.
Allow both sides to dry completely in the shade with good airflow. Store clean and dry away from direct sunlight, heaters and hot cars. Avoid crushing the neoprene or leaving it folded sharply for long periods.
Protect smooth seals and coatings from fingernails, jewellery and scrubbing. Rinse any zip or fastener free of grit, and use only the maker’s approved lubricant where required. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, bleach or use solvents.
