How we calculate scores →About this gear
The H2 5/7 mm hood uses thicker material in selected areas, Glideskin seals and Waterproof’s HAVS one-way vent system. The official range includes both a bibbed and a without-bib version, with different article numbers.
Consider before buying
Choose the collar configuration as carefully as the size. Tyler Allison’s Dive Otter account concerns a short-bib 5/7 mm hood and reports good fit and warmth for him. The live article supplies no numeric overall rating, and his fit experience cannot predict yours.
Our take
Consider H2 when a documented vent arrangement and a choice of collar coverage matter. The H2 3/5 mm is the thinner counterpart; Halcyon offers another shape and thickness range. Try the neck overlap with your actual suit, keeping the reviewed short-bib configuration distinct from the long-bib photograph.
