Additional Product Information
The Enth Degree QD Hood (Quick-Dry) is a 5mm neoprene hood that combines warmth, flexibility and an incredible quick-dry functionality in a hood like no other.
Thermal properties of Enth Degree’s proprietary Q-Dry lining offer thermal gains equivalent to that of another millimetre of neoprene foam, without the bulk and increased buoyancy.
Stylish two-tone high flex lining on the external, with glide skin face and neck seal, helps reduce heat loss from the covered head and neck.
“Neospan” super stretch abrasion-resistant nylon lining that facilitates ease of movement and ensures the external longevity of garments.
It is a lightweight expanded “S Foam” that is soft to touch, light to wear and offers high-level stretch characteristics ensuring flexibility and function during a high-intensity performance.
A custom-designed 200 g/m2 Quickdry fleece constructed from a proprietary water repellant fibre, coupled with a strategic fast water flow pattern design, is designed for rapid drying. Enth Degree reports dry-to-touch times of around 10 minutes; actual drying time depends on conditions.
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.
