NRS Storm Cap

by NRS

You insulate the rest of your body with drywear and wetsuits; don't forget your head. The NRS Storm Cap, with its 2.5 mm neoprene, provides excellent thermal protection.

  • Material Description: 2.5 mm neoprene, VaporLoft™ lining, Titanium laminate adhesive

Additional Attributes

  • The 2.5 mm neoprene gives outstanding insulation and warmth.
  • Titanium-laminate adhesive reflects back body heat to increase warmth.
  • Taped seams help keep water out and warmth in.
  • NRS has lined the cap with quick-drying Checked VaporLoft™ for extra warmth and comfort. Plus it prevents that shudder-inducing clammy feeling when you don it in the morning.
