TOTAL COVERAGE, ZERO COMPROMISE: THE SHARK STOP 2MM HOOD

The Shark Stop 2mm Hood extends the same bite-resistant technology used across our wetsuit range up over the head, so the most exposed part of your body in the water isn't the one part left unprotected.

Built as a standalone piece, it layers with any wetsuit, in or out of the Shark Stop range, adding a critical layer of coverage without forcing you into a new suit.

Why the 2mm Hood is your ultimate head protection:

  • Military-Grade Protection: Crafted with UHMWPE fiber, the same material found in aerospace and ballistics, positioned exactly where you need it most.
  • Scientifically Proven: Independently tested by Flinders University on Great Whites and Tiger Sharks, our material is proven to reduce critical injuries by 100%.
  • Built for Comfort: Neoprene panels are placed throughout for a natural fit and flexible feel, so the protection never comes at the cost of comfort or mobility.
  • Standalone Design: Wear it with any wetsuit for an easy, add-on layer of warmth and protection, no need to replace your existing suit.

Backed by Science

We believe safety should be based on data, not guesswork. Our technology is backed by rigorous, peer-reviewed research:

"Our findings suggest that lightweight bite-resistant materials integrated into traditional wetsuit designs offer a promising [...] approach to reduce injuries, haemorrhaging and tissue loss from the species responsible for most fatal bites globally." — Clarke et al (2025)

Is the 2mm Hood right for you?

  • Divers & Surfers who want extra head warmth on cooler sessions without committing to a full thicker suit.
  • Spearfishers & Freedivers who spend extended time at depth and want added head protection in higher bite-risk zones.
  • Ocean Professionals who need a reliable, rugged layer for daily use in the water.
  • Anyone sensitive to cold looking for extra warmth around the head and neck on longer sessions.

Sizing

This hood is available in one size, designed to fit most head sizes comfortably thanks to its flexible neoprene construction.

The ocean is a wild place, and we believe it belongs to the marine life that calls it home. Our mission isn't to conquer nature, but to facilitate a respectful relationship with it. 

Killing sharks will not keep us safe, and the health of our oceans relies on healthy shark populations. By changing people's perceptions of the importance of sharks and how we can coexist with them, rather than dominate them, we aim to bring to light many other issues threatening our sharks.

Personal safety is in our own hands. By equipping you with the right protection and emergency tools, we empower you to 'fear less and enjoy the ocean more’, entering the water with confidence while respecting the balance of the ecosystem.

All of our products are designed to help you enjoy the ocean with peace of mind, and be prepared should a negative interaction such as a shark bite occur.

Participating in watersports in the vicinity of sharks is an inherently dangerous activity. If a shark is sighted, get to safety as soon and as calmly as possible. Do not stay in the water.

Shark behaviour can be unpredictable and a shark bite can be extremely dangerous. 

Even utilising the full range of Shark Stop (or other shark bite mitigation) products, safety can never be guaranteed in a wilderness such as the ocean, or when in the vicinity of wild animals such as sharks.

Participation in ocean activities is at your own risk. Shark Stop provides tools to improve safety outcomes but is not liable in any way for injuries sustained in unpredictable marine environments.
