Open Water Swimming Hood

Open Water Swimming Hood is important for you because It took me a long time to decide to use the hood. I like my freedom and seek contact with water and nature as much as possible. I thought the wetsuit would be enough to keep me warm. When I started having pain in my ears with the cold water building inside them, I started thinking about it. And the fact that most open water swimmers were telling me how much of a life-changer the Open Water Swimming Hood can be. And they were right!

I could have just used earplugs for the ear issue, but the Open Water Swimming Hood does more than that. It is like on a cold winter day in the snow, I would not get outside without a beanie. The Open Water Swimming Hood works the same way as a wetsuit. It warms up the layer of water between your head and the hood keeping your head warm. Now the water that gets in my ears is warmed up and is not painful anymore. I was afraid I would find the chin strap uncomfortable. I was wrong, neoprene is very soft, and the hood is very comfortable to wear.

Extra tip: I wear my silicone swim cap underneath the hood. It keeps my hair in place and gives me extra coverage on the forehead. If I tie my hair in a bun, it usually comes dry after the swim. Not negligible on cold winter days when you change outside.
