Questions about this item:

Shopper How do I know what size to get?

LeisurePro S Hoods are always difficult to size. One guide you can go by is wet suit size, ie. XL suit = XL hood. Or you can get a rough estimate from your hat size. XS = 6.5" hat size, S = 6 7/8" Hat size, M = 7 1/8" hat size, L = 7.25" Hat Size, XL = 7.5" hat size.

Comments from people who bought this product:

ROBERT C to replace old one.

CHRISTOPHER A I bought this hood because it was cheep! It keeps the head warm and has held up very well. A solid buy.

ADAM H warm warm warm. would only suggest it for cold waters. I use it in new jersey in april may and november

RICHARD A Warm and fits snug.

FRANCISCO J U good starter nice price

JEFF K keeps my head, and therefore body, warm diving in the Galapagos and other colder water dive sites.

NIKOLAOS G It works really well while I dive.

PAUL C I bought a wetsuit and got this for FREE. LeisurePro is giving things away COOL.

PHILIP N A pretty decent hood for the money. Comfortable for me but I read several other reviews and used a hot nail to put two vent holes in the top and back. Could easily be trimmed if needed. I like it and I wear a hood pretty much all the time in fresh water.

NEIL B for winter

MICHAEL B Still use this sometimes. It is not vented so mask clearing can fill it with air! I would choose a different product, if I had to choose again!

We're typically in water temperatures between 47 and 55 degrees. I've yet to have any discomfort from cold! Love the long bib; it tucks inside my suit and keeps me toasty warm. The one down side is there's no ventilation on top and too much air gets trapped. It's a minor annoyance for the joy of not getting cold.

Most Liked Negative Review

Poor design.

It has very poor ventilation for releasing any air pockets that get trapped within the hood. Air pockets form inside the hood throughout the dive making it difficult to hold proper buoyency under water. I found myself constantly pushing down on the top of my head to force the massive air pocket out that had continuously formed. I plan to solve this by cutting a small hole in the top, but i'm kind of disappointed that I have to.

Comments about Blue Reef 6.5MM Neoprene Hood:

Part that tucks into wetsuit is way too big and needs to be folded over, so creates gap for water to flow in/out. Chills!

Comments about Blue Reef 6.5MM Neoprene Hood:

If the bib were not so long and bulky, then I would definitely give this a rating of 5. However, it has to be bunched up and folded over to fit in my wetsuit. I plan to buy another hood and keep this one only as a spare.
