3mm Hood with vent

[ScubaJW]

I am looking to buy 3mm hood with vent. I haven't found it with a vent. I don't like the idea of making some holes myself because I like the way O'Neill or DUI hood with a vent with additional neopene beneath the holes. Can you guys help me out finding a right one?

Thanks!

clgsamson,

Thanks for the website but the problem is, I don't see 3mm. Can you show me one? I dive in warm water so 5mm or 7mm isn't needed.

My Henderson Hyperstretch 3mm has a vent and is very comfy:

Contact Chris at terrapinwetsuits.com she makes custom hoods. You can have basically anything you want in any color or thickness you want. Quality is superb, I LOVE my bunny ears!

I do have a hyperstretch hood and I do honestly hate it. Causing me to be a conehead - - that was very annoying. That hyperstretch don't really have a "vent", the air stays in the hood unless you make a hole out of it to release the air.

Thanks Ber Rabbit but I need the hood in a little over a week so I am in a rush.

Any other suggestion?

Maybe your hood is too loose, ScubaJW? The best 3mm hood I own is a Scubapro hooded vest that doesn't need a hole to vent. It has a slick lining that truly repels water.

Heat up a paper clip or small nail and put a couple of holes in the top before you buy another hood. Use pliers to hold the nail or clip. I know, I know. You know better but I've seen more than one person forget that all of the nail gets hot. Since you're looking to get a new hood anyway it won't hurt if you mess this one up and might actually get the job done for you. 99% of the time you won't even see the holes.

Ha, I gave up. I ordered Akona 3mm standard hood to see how it goes. Thanks yall for the suggestions anyway.
