Life Jacket Spray Hood
A life jacket spray hood is a life jacket accessory that can be attached to a life jacket to protect the wearer's face and airways from water or spray.
When a person is in the water, waves and spray can create a lot of splashing, which can make it difficult to breathe or see. A spray hood is a small, flexible hood that can be attached to the collar of a life jacket to provide additional protection from water and spray. The hood can often be pulled up over the wearer's head and tightened around their face using an adjustable cord or strap. This can help to keep water out of the wearer's eyes and mouth, as well as reduce the risk of hypothermia by keeping the head and neck warmer.
Spray hoods are particularly useful for boaters, sailors, and other water sports enthusiasts who may be exposed to large waves, wind, and spray. They can also be helpful in emergency situations, such as if a person is stranded in the water and needs to conserve their energy and body heat until rescue arrives.
It's important to note that spray hoods are not a substitute for a properly-fitted life jacket, and should be used in addition to, not instead of, a life jacket.
