SCUBA divers are rarely deterred from cold water if there’s something they really want to check out. A wide variety of gear is made for just such a purpose, from hoods and gloves to complete dry suits. But what you wear before and after your dive is important to stay warm as well. Check out these cozy gift ideas for the SCUBA fanatic in your life!
Uzzi Unisex Reversible Hooded Jacket
This nylon fleece jacket from Uzzi is sure to keep your head and body snug and warm when you’re not in the water. Fully reversible, this jacket is slick on one side, fuzzy on the other, and features a detachable drawstring hood for added protection. Hemline is also drawstring to keep that cold wind out on the boat! Available in 4 colors and sizes.
Surf-Fur Water Resistant Parka
If you want more of a full-body protection, this water resistant hooded parka is for you. Also reversible, the polyester fleece lining quickly absorbs moisture, but keeps it from penetrating to the other side so you always have a dry side to wear. The fine pores of the fabric allow it to dry quickly, yet keep you warm while you wear it. A great gift for someone who’s always on the water!
Women’s Pinnacle Merino-Lined Torso Heater
Although this 3mm shorty is designed for aquatic activities, slipping into one of these post-dive is sure to get your blood pumping. Since it adds an extra 10 degrees of warmth to any water suit, it seems like it could be a great choice for wearing above the surface under a jacket and pants or shorts. Lined with Merino wool, this little suit will chase the goosebumps away and keep your vital organs protected from the cold.
Stearns 7077 Boating Flotation Jacket
For the serious boater and diver, nothing can beat this hardy flotation jacket. Lined with Suisse Aire flotation foam, this jacket received US Coast Guard Type III approval with a minimum of 15.5 lbs buoyancy. Both the collar and handwarmer pockets are lined with fleece, and the waistband features an adjustable neoprene lining. The roll away hood is secured around your head with gaiter-style elastic drawstring clamps, and the front zipper is protected by a storm flap. Reflective patches are sewn on to the storm flap and sleeves of the durable nylon shell for the ultimate in safety.
