detailed description
What you'll feel
You'll stay warm even after a short immersion. The 2mm neoprene limits heat loss from your head and ears. The chin strap provides a secure fit around your face, and the jaw strap prevents the beanie from shifting when the water gets choppy. The subtle pompom adds a touch of style without compromising functionality.
Sizes and how to choose
Sizes are not specified in the product sheet. We recommend trying on the beanie to check the fit around your ears and forehead. If you're between two sizes, prioritize a snugger fit to avoid water pockets. You can also visit the store for assistance in choosing based on your helmet or usual hood.
Construction and materials
The composition is 90% neoprene and 10% nylon, with a 2mm thickness. The chin strap is integrated into the beanie, and the jaw strap can be used according to your preferences. This combination maintains the necessary flexibility for donning while ensuring a good hold on your head. The finishes limit irritation during prolonged use.
Comfort and hold on the water
The jaw strap and chin strap limit the risk of loss when the beanie is wet or when you take impacts. The cut conforms to the shape of your skull to reduce pulling and limit water entry around your ears. During a short or long session, you'll especially notice the consistent hold, without hindering the wearing of a helmet over it if necessary.
Who it's for
This beanie is for riders facing cold water and humidity: surfers, paddlers, or novices looking for simple, warm protection. Its use remains oriented towards sessions where heat retention at the skull is a priority and where a secure hold is needed.

Check the fit around your ears and forehead in-store, and refer to product code ZG-PGL-5148 when ordering or inquiring. If you're unsure, visit the store to try it on; we can advise you on the size that best matches your helmet or usual hood.
