Looking for a hood made of fleece or polartec type material

[mike_s]

Anyone know of a shop or manufacturer that makes hoods of fleece or polar-tech type material?


I've got one now and have no clue who makes it, but it's too small
and wanted to buy a larger one.

The dive shop that I bought it from has gone out of business
so I can't ask where they bought it.

I'm not sure if Polartec is any warmer than neopreme, but it's more
comfortable to wear. (the one I have is nylon backed to keep water
from flowing through it)

Thanks for any help.

IST makes a hood like that. In the water there won't be any thermal qualities but at least in warm water it will keep the little creepy crawlies out of your ears.

This answer might be a little late but the Pinnacle Merino wool lined hood is the warmest hood I have ever used. I also have the Merino lined (Artic) wetsuit and gloves too. The setup is quite comfortable into the low 40 degree F range for me. I break out the drysuit any lower than that.

I sure like my Henderson TriLam!

It is the most comfortable hood I have worn.
