Hoods

Our Hoods range covers sailing jacket hoods and spare or replacement hoods – either integrated storm hoods built into foul-weather jackets, or standalone hoods for added protection in genuinely poor weather conditions.

A good storm hood needs to do two things at once: seal out wind and rain around the face, and still turn with your head so you retain peripheral vision when checking around you, which matters for both comfort and safety while helming or working on deck. Check compatibility with your specific jacket if buying a spare or replacement hood, since attachment points (zip-in, popper, integrated) vary between brands and models. A wired peak helps keep the hood’s shape and out of your eyes in strong wind, worth checking for if you’re regularly sailing in poor weather.

Turn with your head so you keep peripheral vision while helming or working on deck – important for both comfort and safety, not just staying dry.

Will a spare hood fit any jacket?

Check compatibility first – attachment points (zip-in, popper, integrated) vary between brands and models.
