    Pinnacle 3mm Beanie:
    I am 6'2" tall. The 2XL fit me fine. Not too loose; not too tight. Though I have not seen an XL-size; from the fit of this one; I believe I could have worn an XL as well. I wear a 2XL in a cotton sunhat. I like a hat as loose as possible that stays on and fits. I use this for swimming laps in a swimming-pool in cold weather; maybe 2-days a year. The cap and chin-strap were comfortable and easy to put on. The cap is flexible and soft. The cap covered my ears and forehead. The cap did not fill with water or bulge at the top while swimming. I tested it in spring-time in 65-degree water. The cap kept my head warm for that temperature. I did not have access to lower temperature water. My impression is this cap would keep my head warm down to 60-degrees. At lower temperature it would make it less cold. I have tried a 7mm hood and that was thick, stiff, and overkill for my purpose. For water colder than 60-degrees; I would try wearing two 3mm caps; or a 3mm-hood over this, before trying anything thicker. The cap has a thin feeling; very similar to my 1.5mm neoprene swim-shirt. I have not seen or tried anything 5mm thick.

    This beanie hood is OK. It would serve it's purpose for warm water diving. The fit is a little loose (if I went to the next smaller size I'd get a brain squeeze) so exhaled air from the regulator gets caught in the hood and starts pulling on the chin strap.

      Comments about Pinnacle 3mm Beanie Hood:

      When a full hood is too much but you need a little something for insulation on your head, this is it. This works great for dives with the a few short drops below the thermocline.

          Comments about Pinnacle 3mm Beanie Hood:

          I'd had enough of being cold in my 5mm wetsuit in tropical waters so finally decided to try wearing a hood. When I tried it on in the store the fit was perfect, but once wet it felt ever so slightly big. This was exactly the extra bit of neoprene I needed to keep warm. I love that the chin strap doesn't chafe, which I had been worried about as I'd never worn a hood before. It's also great for keeping my long hair tucked away. Size wise, for most the S will be small enough, but if you find that most average sized baseball caps are too big on you (as I do), then you may also find the S, once wet, slightly big. Overall happy with this, good value, and it weighs nothing for something that does so much.
