Question Scuba hood fit/tightness

[Ares1590]

I tried in waterproof h1 hoods and ordered the h2 in the size that fits. It seems to fit differently so I ordered a smaller one. Now I’m torn between the medium and small. My head is about 56.5/57cm which is right in the “small” category but I guess the hood feels very tight around my face.

The medium is fine around my face and top of the head but has gaps near the base of my head and the neck is quite loose. Not sure what to do.

I’m not sure either fit “poorly” I just have no way to tell if it’s fitting correctly. I have no frame of reference

Snug but not uncomfortable is what you need.

and if you dive horizontally whether you want it to fit comfortably with your head forward or down
