PRODUCT OVERVIEW

About this gear

The T2 Chillproof Hood is a fabric hood with a broad collar for overlap beneath a suit or top. Its hollow-fibre fleece and four-way-stretch construction differ from a conventional thick neoprene hood.

Consider before buying

The manufacturer markets FIR benefits and warmth comparable with 4–5 mm neoprene, but no independent hood-specific test was verified to establish those claims. Water-repellent treatment is not a dry seal. Check the added bulk before wearing it beneath another hood.

Our take

Consider it when you want a flexible fabric layer and broad collar, especially if you already use compatible Sharkskin layers. Compare Halcyon or Waterproof H2 when you want explicitly stated neoprene thicknesses. The decision is about the complete fit and exposure system, not a claimed one-to-one replacement for every neoprene hood.
