Hoods and being choked to death

[iyakonboats]

If I wear the hood by itself on land, it is not too bad. However, when I tuck it under my wetsuit, all the material scrunches up and that choking feeling is horrible, especially with neck flexion. Recently, I started wearing the hood outside of my wetsuit - it looks weird, but its almost just as warm underwater with much less constriction.

The moment I put mine on above water it chokes

I'm with @davehicks's wife and @Dark Wolf. If you have a lot of hair (when I started diving, mine was long enough to snap my neck if I sat on my ponytail), a zippered hood left unzipped/gusset coverage only is the way to go.

I'll take a look at those.
