Beuchat SD X-Trem 6.5mm Woman Hood – High-Performance Semi-Dry Hood with HPS System and Air Escape
What is Beuchat SD X-Trem 6.5mm Woman Hood?
Beuchat SD X-Trem 6.5mm Woman Hood is the 6.5mm neoprene technical hood designed specifically to complement the Beuchat Semi-Dry X-Trem wetsuit, forming with it an integrated and watertight thermal protection system that minimizes the entry of cold water in the most vulnerable areas of the body during cold water diving.
Unlike conventional hoods that simply sit over the head and are tucked under the wetsuit collar, Beuchat SD X-Trem 6.5mm Woman Hood incorporates the HPS (Hood Positioning System) and the Air Escape System, two technical innovations that radically elevate the level of integration, watertightness and comfort compared to any conventional hood on the market.
HPS System – Hood Positioning System
Precise Positioning and Easy Integration with the Wetsuit
The most differentiating feature of Beuchat SD X-Trem 6.5mm Woman Hood is the HPS (Hood Positioning System), an integration system with the Semi-Dry X-Trem wetsuit that solves one of the most common problems with dive hoods: the difficulty of positioning them correctly and keeping them in place throughout the entire dive.
The HPS system incorporates two closure points positioned at the front and rear of the hood that allow:
- Precise positioning of the hood relative to the wetsuit neck, ensuring that the interface between both garments is always the same and correct on every dive
- Secure attachment of the hood to the wetsuit through the Hood Holder closure system, eliminating hood displacement during active diving
- Easy and quick integration – The two front and rear closure points greatly simplify the gearing-up process, allowing the hood to be placed and secured correctly in just a few seconds even in difficult boat or beach conditions
- Optimized watertight seal between the hood and the wetsuit neck, minimizing cold water entry at the junction between both garments
- Stability throughout the entire dive in any position and movement of the diver, without displacement that breaks the seal
Air Escape System – Air Evacuation Valve
No Air Bubbles Under the Hood
One of the most common and uncomfortable problems with conventional diving hoods is the accumulation of air bubbles under the hood during the dive, especially during position changes and head movements. These bubbles create discomfort, noise, and can affect the diver's trim.
Beuchat SD X-Trem 6.5mm Woman Hood definitively solves this problem with the Air Escape System: an integrated valve in the hood that allows controlled evacuation of air bubbles accumulated under the neoprene, offering:
- Automatic evacuation of air trapped under the hood during movements and position changes
- Greater comfort by eliminating the sensation of pressure or bubbling under the head neoprene
- Better trim and balance for the diver by preventing air accumulated under the hood from affecting buoyancy in the head area
- Noise reduction generated by the movement of air bubbles under the neoprene during the dive
Low Anatomical Neckline – Total Freedom of Movement
No Restriction on Head Movements
The low anatomical neckline of the Beuchat SD X-Trem 6.5mm Woman Hood has been specifically designed for the female body shape and for the real needs of active diving:
- Total freedom of head movement in any direction without the neckline lifting or creating cold water entry points
- No cervical restrictions during active diving, head turns to check your buddy, or instrument reading
- Maintained seal in any head position thanks to the anatomical design that adapts to the neck without tension or folds that could create leakage paths
- Comfort during long dives without the feeling of pressure on the neck common in hoods with higher or less anatomical necklines
Photoluminescent Strip – Safety on Night Dives
Visible in the Dark
Beuchat SD X-Trem 6.5mm Woman Hood incorporates a strip with photoluminescent ink that increases diver visibility in low-light conditions:
- Greater safety on night dives – The photoluminescent strip allows dive buddies and the guide to locate the diver in the darkness underwater
- Improved visibility in low-visibility conditions – In caves, wrecks, or murky water where the dive light is the primary source of illumination
- Surface safety – Luminescence also improves diver visibility at the surface in nighttime or early morning conditions, for vessels and rescue teams
- Passive safety feature – Always active without requiring any action from the diver
6.5mm Thermal Protection
Maximum Protection for the Coldest Waters
With 6.5mm of neoprene, Beuchat Woman SD X-Trem 6.5mm Hood offers the maximum cranial thermal protection available in a diving hood:
- Superior insulation for the head and neck, the areas of the body through which the greatest heat loss occurs during cold water diving
- Perfect complement to the X-Trem Semi-Dry wetsuit to create a complete thermal protection system for dives in very cold water
- Insulation durability thanks to high-quality neoprene that maintains its thermal properties after years of intensive use
Who is the Beuchat SD X-Trem 6.5mm Woman Hood for?

- Beuchat Semi-Dry X-Trem wetsuit users – It is the hood designed specifically to integrate with this wetsuit through the HPS system
- Divers in very cold waters – Who need maximum available cranial thermal protection
