Hi,

Today we are going to run through what Surf Hoods we have that will have you kitted out for the coming winter. As we have mentioned before XCEL have been producing great wetsuits and related products for years and the Surf Hoods are no different. We have 4 hoods to choose from this winter and they are:

XCEL2mm Thermobarrier Bamboo Lined Hood, XCEL 2mm Thermobarrier Hood, XCEL 2mm Cap with peak and the XCEL Xcelerator Cap.

The XCEL Xcelerator Cap is great hood more fitting to be worn in the early days of winter. Its 0.5mm titanium glideskin with a strap the fits under the chin. The cap is ultra stretchy and comes in all sizes.

For something a little warmer, is the XCEL 2mm Cap with Peak. This is similar to the Xcelerator cap although this has a small peak on top to help flush water away from the face. Its 2mm thick so will keep the elements at bay. There is also an arch strap that comes under the chin to provide a great fit.

Finally the top Surf Hoods, are the XCEL 2mm Thermobarrier Hood with Neck Dam and XCEL 2mm Bamboo Lined hood. These hoods both have a full neck dam that goes right into the wetsuit to ensure that hardly any water can penetrate into the body. Its 2mm thick and fully covers the cheek area giving a great seal. There is a pull string cord on the side ensuring that you can alter the tightness of the hood to whatever you like. The XCEL 2mm Thermobarrier hood also comes with a peak. The Bamboo Lined hood is a great option, exactly the same as the normal thermobarrier, but this season being bamboo lined, trapping pockets of air into the hood making it warmer than ever.

All in all, there is something here for everyone for conditions throughout the winter, with prices on XCEL Surf Hoods very reasonable. For further details on the hoods listed abovee, please visit our Surf Shop. A great investment this winter.
