Hood has an automatic vent that allows air to escape as necessary from the top of the hoodwhile restricting water to re-enter. .Donning and doffing are made easy with the gusseted rear zipper.

Comments about Pinnacle Pinnacle 2009 7mm Merino Lined Zippered Hood:
I purchased this product to go with my Pinnacle wetsuit. Fits well on the head but the bib seems too short in the back. Once you look down enough times the bib tends to pop out of the back of the suit. This let's cold water shoot down the back.
Make the bib 2" longer in the back and you have the perfect product.
I would recommend this if you have a high neckline on your wetsuit OR a really short neck.
