Product Description
C-Skins Storm Chaser Beanie — your cosy sidekick for cold water adventures. Whether you’re braving an early morning sea swim, dipping in your favourite lake, catching waves, or heading out for a paddle, this 2 mm neoprene beanie is designed to keep the chill off without soaking up water like a normal wool hat. It’s snug, splash-proof and stays warm even when wet — so you can focus on the fun, not the freeze.
Why it’s better than a normal beanie
Woolly hats might look cute on land, but once they’re wet they get
heavy, cold and can actually make you lose heat faster. The Storm
Chaser is made from closed-cell neoprene that doesn’t hold
water. It blocks wind-chill, keeps working when submerged, and has
a soft recycled polypro lining that feels like a fleecy hug on your
head.
- 2 mm FreeFlex neoprene — flexible, lightweight warmth you barely notice.
- Flatlock seams — smooth and comfy, even under a helmet or goggles strap.
- P.E.T recycled polypro lining — quick-drying, cosy and kinder to the planet.
- Secure fit — stretchy panels that hug your head without pressure points.
- Elastic tether loop — clip it to your wetsuit zip or swimsuit so you don’t lose it mid-session.
- Wind resistant — perfect for beach walks and post-dip chats on blustery days.
- Low absorption — stays light, never sags or drips like cotton.
Perfect for: cold-water dipping, sea swimming, surfing, SUP adventures, kayaking, canoeing, sailing days, or just warming up with friends on the shore. It’s especially loved by those who want warmth and comfort without the squeeze of a full hood.
Comfort you’ll love
The soft recycled lining means no itch and no scratch, just instant
cosiness. The 2 mm neoprene stretches easily so it slips on
and off without fuss. It covers your ears to take the sting out of
wind and water, while flat seams mean no annoying rub points.
Fit & Care
Pick a snug fit so it seals gently around the edges. Rinse with
fresh water after each use, squeeze out (don’t wring), and let it
air-dry naturally. Size guide found below
FAQs
Will it keep my hair dry?
Nope — it’s not a dry cap. Neoprene works by trapping a thin layer
of water and insulating it, so you stay warm even when wet.
Why is it safer than a normal beanie for
swimming?
Wool and cotton hats soak up water, get heavy, and actually pull
heat away from your head. This beanie doesn’t absorb water, reduces
wind-chill, and helps you stay warmer and more comfortable while
you recover after a dip.
Can I properly swim in it?
Yes! Loads of people swim laps, train and dip in neoprene beanies.
It keeps your ears warm without the bulk of a hood.
Does it work for surfing or kayaking?
Absolutely. It fits under helmets, stays put in wipeouts, and keeps
the icy wind off when you’re sitting out back or paddling into the
breeze.
Will I lose it in the water?
Unlikely if it fits well, but for peace of mind there’s a handy
tether loop — just clip it to your wetsuit or swimsuit so it’s
always safe.
What size should I get?
If you’re between sizes, go smaller for a secure fit. It should
feel snug, not tight — like a warm hug, not a headache!
Note: The Storm Chaser adds warmth and comfort, but it’s not a life-saving device. Always know your limits, dip safely, and enjoy the water.
