perfect hood :

retains 70% of your body heat
keeps you warm even on rashguard (*sic)
fits easily on head - no effort to put on and removed
doesn't constrict carotid arteries
vents bubbles on top
doesn't obstruct your hearing (underwater and topside while afloat)
doesn't pose any problems on mask skirt
drains water from earlobes quickly

*(sic) (from Latin sic for "thus") is a bracketed expression used to indicate that an unusual spelling, phrase, or any other preceding quoted material is intended to be read or printed exactly as shown (rather than being an error) and should not be corrected.

If you find one with all these features, please let me know. BTW, the feature where it vents bubbles on top of the hood isnt really needed, if there's a perfect seal around your face.

Its a 5mm hooded vest that I wear under a 7mm wetsuit, when the temps are between 10 - 18C. The hooded vest is half the size of my torso and putting it on takes some practice, especially the hood. Anyway, I dont blame you for not using it. I hate wearing one myself.
