Dry Suit Hoods

[Atlaua]

Any favorites or is one as good as another?

I know Little Kris at the store loves his Henderson. I know after a dive with him, his hair is usually pretty dry. The only good experience with a hood is the onew that is attached to my least favorite suit that I own.

Personally I love my hooded vest. It's not the thick ScubaPro that they sell at the shop but the thinner ScubaPro. It's easy to don and doff and does what I need in temps that are ok for a wetsuit. As I understand it though, the hooded vest might just defeat the purpose of that whole neck seal thing :D.

I've got a Henderson. I like it just fine, I guess; only thing is that it fits so loose around the neck, it's almost like not having any protection there. I've got it in my head that I would like one that zips in the back allowing a tighter neck fit. However, I think I remember some comments on the other board from divers who didn't like the zip hoods. Who knows,, I probably just dive what I got.

Here's a link http://otterbaysuits.com/wetsuits.cfm I've heard they were good ones, but don't want to spend 75 bucks on a hood to find out.

Lol, should I spend $200 to get suits for my 2 labs? ;)

I have a Henderson. I can't remember the exact type. Its Hyperstretch so it goes on nicely. It has Gold Core around the face and neck that helps it seal. It is extremely comfortable and warm enough.
