Terrapin Mini Hoods

At Terrapin, we believe "custom" means you can pick the colors you want in your dive gear. The mini-hoods can be purchased from standard colors or made to your custom color choices. The standard colors are shown below, but if you'd like custom color combination or style, we'll do our best to accommodate you. In all cases, please select carefully, as these custom-made accessories cannot be exchanged or returned.

A note about fastening your minihood... Our standard fastening method is by a 1" web strap cinched through double D rings on the right side below the ear. That keeps the strap out of the way of your snorkel. We avoid Velcro closures because they don't offer enough fit adjustability and tend to eat their way through everything else in your dive bag. However, if you want a different closure method than our standard, please contact us to discuss it before you place your order. We can usually accommodate most requests




About Custom Colors:  Available colors are shown on http://www.TerrapinWetsuits.com/materials.html  
There are two steps to ordering a custom color for your item:
1) Select Custom Colors from the drop down menu before you Add to Cart (that makes a flag on your order that tells me to look for other instructions)
2) When you get to the PayPal check out page, look for the box in which you can add Instructions to the Seller.  Write the colors you want to substitute there.  For example on the Princess Crown minihood you might want to write "Substitute Purple for the Silver Crown", etc... 
If you have any trouble or questions, feel free to email Chris@TerrapinWetsuits.com to let me know the colors you want.

Cold Water hoods have full neck and shoulder coverage.  Sizing is the same as the mini-hoods, and all the same embellishments are available.  Plain cold water hoods are $64 and embellished ones are $74.

If you want a cold water hood instead of a mini-hood, check this box and the $14 difference in price will be added to your order.  You also need to check the Mini hood box above, selecting the style/colors you want.  If you select 5 mm on the coldwater upgrade, it will over-ride the thickness choice on the mini hood selection.
