What do you wear under a Latex drysuit hood? In 40 degree F I am in need of some insulation. So what do you use if anything?

Thanks.
 
I have a fiberfill hood designed for that purpose that came with my one of my underwear sets. I also sewed up a acrilic pile cap (took the pattern from an old wetsuit hood) that is high on my forehead, back toward my ears, and wraps about my neck with a velcro closure.
 
I use a purpose made Viking open cell hood under
my latex dry hood. It's very warm and allows air
to access both ears thus avoiding pressure problems.
It fixes under the chin with a velcro fastening.
