Mystic Evolve 3mm Natural Foam Wetsuit Hood

The Mystic Evolve 3mm Natural Foam Wetsuit Hood combines cold-water protection with innovative, lower-impact materials. Described by Mystic as its lowest-impact hood yet, the Evolve is made using Natural Foam instead of conventional neoprene, incorporating natural rubber and renewable ingredients without compromising the flexibility needed for active watersports. With its 3mm construction and recycled XTR lining, this premium wetsuit hood is designed for surfers, kitesurfers, windsurfers and wingfoilers looking for dependable head protection in colder conditions.

At the heart of the Evolve Hood is Mystic's innovative Natural Foam construction. Rather than using traditional petroleum-based neoprene foam, the material contains 90% natural rubber and 10% synthetic rubber by polymer content. Its formulation also incorporates USDA-certified renewable materials, including sugarcane, oyster shells and plant oils. This carefully developed material blend offers an alternative to conventional wetsuit foam while maintaining the flexibility and performance required for demanding watersports.

The 3mm Natural Foam provides an insulating layer around the head, helping reduce heat loss during sessions in cold water. Keeping your head protected is particularly important when exposed to wind, spray and repeated immersion, whether you're paddling through waves, riding a kite or spending extended periods on the water. The flexible foam construction is designed to accommodate natural head movement, allowing you to turn and look around comfortably while riding.

Inside the hood, Mystic uses a recycled XTR lining, complementing the Natural Foam construction with recycled textile materials. This lining provides a comfortable inner surface against the skin and forms part of the Evolve range's emphasis on more considered material choices. The use of recycled materials is supported by Mystic's Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification documentation for Evolve recycled fabrics.

The Evolve Hood is a practical addition to a full wetsuit setup when water temperatures begin to fall. Its 3mm thickness offers a useful balance between thermal protection and flexibility, making it suitable for a range of cooler-water conditions. Worn alongside a suitable wetsuit, gloves and boots, it helps protect an area of the body that would otherwise remain exposed to cold water and wind.

For watersports enthusiasts seeking technical performance alongside a reduced reliance on conventional neoprene, the Mystic Evolve 3mm Natural Foam Hood offers a compelling alternative. Combining renewable-material Natural Foam, recycled XTR lining and a versatile 3mm construction, it brings Mystic's lower-impact Evolve approach to an essential piece of cold-water equipment.

Mystic Evolve Hood Size Guide

To find the correct size, measure the circumference of your head around the widest part, just above your eyebrows and ears. Compare your measurement with the Mystic hood size chart below for a comfortable, snug fit.
