Comments about Blue Reef 6.5MM Neoprene Hood:

Great hood if modified slightly. I only gave it 4 stars due to the fact that it has no purge or air release at the top of the hood.

I purchased this hood knowing in advance from reviews here that it didn't have an air purge feature. Before my first dive with it, I used a very small diameter finishing nail, held over a candle flame, to melt several 'small' holes through the neoprene at the top back of the hood. This allowed air to release upon ascent. I kept the holes VERY small, so I did not have any problem with water leaking into the hood.

Excellent buy for the price with this very easy minor modification. Just keep in mind that you cannot return it if modified, so be sure you have the right size\fit first.

HOOD FEELS A LITTLE SMALL ON FIT. PLUS IT HAS NO HEAT VENT ABOVE YOUR HEAD. I RATHER DIVE WITHOUT.

Great hood, but it needs a vent valve in the top to allow air bubbles to escape. Also I had to go with a size larger than the Sizing chart said I would need.

This hood feels great. I have used it several times and would recomend it just on the comfort level alone

Comments about Blue Reef 6.5MM Neoprene Hood:

I had to go one size smaller than my ordinary neck size. The face seal has to be flushed against the skin, otherwise you'll lose body heat. Other than that, it keeps my head nice and warm in cold water.
