Hey all,
Wore a hood on my first dive this past weekend. Water was a balmy 54 degree's. I was using a local shop provided hood, and the damn thing was extremely uncomfortable. Wasn't as bad once under water, but on the surface it hurt the back of my neck and head. It was an XL and I'm fairly confident it was the right size, just the type of hood was probably the issue. I looked for info online, and everything I found that recommended great hoods the post was over 5+ years old and the hood was discontinued. The one I found that was apparently the best was a Henderson, but again, disco'd. So looking for recommendations on a good comfortable hood that I can still actually buy. I live in New England, so will pretty much always be using a hood for most dives.
Thanks!!!
