True drysuit hood

[jcollin160]

i had quit diving 10 yrs ago due to kids. then i had a typhoon commercial drysuit with the ring system hood and gloves. now that i am getting back into it I purchase a used Zeagle commercial suit. I have seen the gloves in a ring system but have not seen anything for hoods. do they still make them? what options do i have? i already have a 7mm hood with a zipper.

there has to be some drysuit guru's out there that can help?

What exactly do you mean? Regular drysuit hoods? Yes they make them, your 7mm one should work fine. I don't think we understand exactly what you're asking. If there's a ring system for a hood?

I used to have a latex hood on a ring system just like the gloves are. then you would put a neoprene over for insulation. my full face mask would seal to the latex so i was totally dry.

I cant remember who made it that was back in 1999. I havent been able to find the same thing anywhere.

Sounds like DUI's 'ZipSeals'. I have a feeling that it is a patented design, which is why we don't see it on other suits.

...I know exactly what you're refering to.

Give Bob3 here on the board a PM or a call; he deals with commercial drysuits and can fix you up.


All the best, James
