A flow vent prevents ballooning from the diver's exhaust bubbles Henderson's Gold Core Hoods are so comfortable they became The #1 seller the first year we offered them. They're easy to put on and remove, they dry extremely fast and won't irritate your face the way nylon lined hoods can. Hood is made from 7/5mm neoprene, has glued and sewn seams to lower water exchange in increase durability.

Comments about Henderson Henderson 7/5mm Gold Core Hood with Bib:
I wear a size small in other brands and models, but this one feels too small in size S.I also thought the Gold Core lining would make it smooth and easy to don, but it is exteremely hard to put on and off (regardless of size:My son whose head is smaller has a hard time putting it on also). Once on, it feels very constricting,and it gets too close to the lips, but this is the type you cannot cut.Too late to return it after trying it ( [...]). I then bought a 6.5 Body Glove which feels perfect after the torture of the Gold Core.

Comments about Henderson Henderson 7/5mm Gold Core Hood with Bib:
I've had this hood for 6 years and had to replace it, due to a small hole under a stitch.
The gold core lining literally sticks to the skin and keeps the water exchange to a minimum, while allowing fast drying.
Great hood, which I would definitely buy again, if Henderson wasn't stopping it's production. Get one while stock lasts!
