Review on ๐Ÿงค Ultimate Protection: Waterproof H1 5/10mm Sandwich Faceseal Polar Evo Hood by James Maruffo

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Failed to obtain correct seal

I am a Marine Search and Rescue diver and wear a full face mask, yes. I bought this hood in the hope that it would speed up my suit fitting process (no need to detach the traditional hood from the mask) so I could get in the water faster when called. When I first used the hood I couldn't get a proper seal. The problem I found wasn't with the mask sticking to the hood, it was the hood sticking to my skin. The neoprene was too thick (10mm) to fit my jawline so I lost the seal every time I moved my head. I have returned this hood and am going back to my H1 3/5mm waterproof hood and will continue to open the hood before each dive. I hope Waterproof sees this review and makes a slimmer hood with the same multi-layer face seal.

Pros
  • Water sports
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
