i am replacing my beanie i enjoyed for many years of diving in st. croix and grand cayman. my beanie was lost when put into a bcd pocket that wasnt secured. alas. the cap was very helpful for my second, third, and fourth dives of the day when core temps had ped. i am easily chilled and the extra retention on the top was always appreciated.

I dont really like the restriction of wearing a full hood, so this beanie was the perfect solution for me!

Rating: Not snug enough
Reviewer: Tracie Moore,
This beanie was o.k. but the fit was not great. I ended up wearing my husbands most the time during 10 days on a Costa Rica Cocos Island live aboard.

Rating: Extra warmth
Reviewer: Larry Douglas, - View all my reviews
Adds comfort and warmth when you dont want to go to the trouble of a full hood, and on the surface you can unstrap ,flip up the sides to hear better.

Is this beanie suitable for open water swimming? Or are there different styles for that?

Hello Dennis, yes you can use this in open water as a hood. I would only suggest using this in water above 75 degree water since this is only a 2mm beanie. If you would like to place an order or have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.

It would work for swimming. It won''t be water resistant like a swim cap, but will offer some thermal protection for the user.
