What is the difference between 5mm and 7mm hoods?
Hoods: Designed for cooler waters, 5mm hoods offer substantial insulation, keeping you comfortable during longer dives in colder temperatures. They strike a balance between warmth and mobility. Hoods: If you plan to dive in cold or very cold waters, a 7mm hood is your best choice. Available in a choice of two neoprene thicknesses, the 3mm is perfect for warmer tropical waters and the 5mm is best suited for more temperate climates.The ideal wetsuit thickness depends on the water temperature. In general, the colder the water, the thicker the wetsuit should be. For example, in warm water (70°F/21°C and above), a 2mm wetsuit may be sufficient. In cold water ( below 60°F/15°C), a 5mm or 7mm wetsuit may be necessary.The 5mm is usually forgotten about as people usually select the 7mm for cold water/winter season and the 3mm for summer/warm tropical waters. But the 5mm is the perfect option for people who get too warm in a 7mm, yet too cold in a 3mm. The 5mm can be used for those in-between seasons when it’s not cold, yet not warm.ISURUS 3MM WETSUITS ARE WARMER THAN YOUR AVERAGE 4mm WETSUIT Whichever 3MM wetsuit you decide to go for, it’s going to perform to an exceptional standard.
