Dive Hood Decisions?

[donaldac_]

So with all the current holiday sales I thought I'd pickup a nice comfy hood for cooler water. I dive in SoCal so it's chilly but I do also get hot head so I've narrowed it down to 2 choices really based off that and for comfort on my chubby face lol. Im stuck between a Henderson Bibbed 5/3 Hood and the 6/5/4 ScubaPro Everflex Bibbed Hood. The Henderson is almost 50 bucks cheaper and they are known for being comfy and stretchy but the scubapro one does seem "nicer" and from some of the reviews also seems comfy. It also matches my scubapro mask and snorkel but thats my ocd baha. Help lol

If you're diving wet, hooded vest can't be beat. Keeps water from trickling down your neck and an extra layer of insulation over your core.

As for brand, that doesn't matter; it's all about fit, fit, fit.

Another vote of a hooded vest.
No fumbling around tucking the bid, comfortable, warm.

Another vote for avoiding the trickle of cold water down your back, although in my case, its an attached hood (i dont really need the additional neoprene on my core).
