felt a bit small out of the box, but very comfortable in the water. I got a large, my head was 22.5 inches, neck 15.5"

Just did a 72 minute lobster dive off la jolla with the hood, worked great! May need to trim a bit more to avoid mask interference

Comments about Bare Bare 7-MM Dry Hood:

This was the first drysuit hood I owned, but after several successful and comfortable ice dives, I was saddened to discover I had come home without it. I looked high and low for a replacement, but none of the local shops had one. I tried on several other alleged "drysuit hoods" but all of them had a bib of some sort that added unnecessary bulk around the suit's neck seal. I couldn't find an alternative I was happy with, and wasn't willing to wait for a shop to order it for me, so I looked online and was pleased to find exactly what I needed [...].The replacement hood has performed every bit as well as the original, and I couldn't be happier with it.
