Dry suit hood?

[atlas750]

I just got a used dry suit, now I need a hood. I got a trilam (Mobby's) with latex seals. Most of my diving is in Texas and the water rarely gets below 50 degrees. Any recommendations on a hood? Is there any difference than a wetsuit hood? Thanks for the help.

Most drysuit hoods dont have the expanded neck area like a regular hood would. They stop shortly after the top of the neck seal. I use the bare drysuit hood that zips up the back. I really like the zipper as it makes putting the hood on much easier.

I'm using he pinnacle dry hood. It has a good fit and very warm, it's comfortable in water temps down to 32F

I use a Henderson Artic hood.......

Your water temp is much higher than the water around here......a heavy hood could be to hot..........

Take a look at these.......I just bought a Cressi 7mm wetsuit and is very well made……

Hope this helps...........M

I use a DR 6.5m when diving dry in 67/68 degree water. Even after 75 minutes, it can be toasty. It has been a good hood.

And what can you say about this one?


I cost aprox. $46 in my local dive shop. Made from 5.5mm neopren. They said that it desined for using with dry suit.

Now i'm use Aqualung Safaga (as at picture below) 5mm hood and i think it's cold in 38-40 degree water. I want something more suitible for cold water

Pinnacle makes great exposure protection. We just bought some Pinnacle inventory and haven't had time to put it on the store yet, but it should be in the next few days.

the top one looks like it would be hard to get the mask to seal on your face... or am i just missing something here?
