Cressi Lycra Hood – UV & Sun Protection

The Cressi Lycra Hood is a lightweight, comfortable hood designed to provide practical UV, sun and stinger protectionfor scuba diving, snorkelling, swimming and other watersports.

Made from strong, highly elastic synthetic Lycra, the hood stretches comfortably around the head while maintaining a close, streamlined fit. It can be worn on its own in warm water or comfortably under a wetsuit, rash guard or dive suitfor additional protection.

Lightweight UV & Sun Protection

The Lycra construction helps protect covered areas of the head and neck from exposure to harmful UV rays and sunburn, making it an excellent choice for long snorkelling sessions, boat dives and tropical-water activities.

Added Stinger Protection

When diving or snorkelling in warmer waters, the Cressi Lycra Hood provides an additional physical barrier between your skin and marine stingers. Its extended neck coverage also helps reduce exposed skin when worn with a wetsuit or rash vest.

Keeps Long Hair Under Control

For divers and snorkellers with longer hair, the hood helps keep hair contained and away from mask straps, snorkels and other equipment. This can make fitting and removing your mask easier while helping reduce tangling throughout the day.

Comfortable Under a Wetsuit

The smooth, low-bulk fabric makes the Cressi Lycra Hood ideal for layering underneath a wetsuit hood or suit. It can also make donning and removing exposure protection easier while adding an extra layer of comfort around the head and neck.
