DESCRIPTION
The Merino Lined Hood is the warmest hood available, and will keep a diver's head warm and comfortable in even the most severe watertemperatures. Constructed from 7mm titanium lined neoprene throughout the head and neck areas, with Pinnacles patented Merino liningthroughout. Merino lining adds up to 35% more thermal efficiency then standard neoprene rubber alone. Merion also does not promote the growth of bacteria, making it hygienic and reduces odor. The hood is equipped with a 3mm face seal with smooth skin seal can be trimmed to custom fit the face mask seal. 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.

          Once you have the right size, this product is perfect. Very confortable and warm. Initially went with Pinnacle chart (L) but exchanged it for an XL.

          Comments about Pinnacle 7mm Merino Lined Zippered Hood:

          Well made Pinnacle product but has a few design flaws. First, while the zipper may help with fit, it's one more place for water to leak through the neck seal. I've never had an issue donning a standard hood, so the zipper is only a drawback. Also, the skirt really is a few inches too short. With any substantial head movement it pulls out from the wetsuit and allows water movement down your back. The hood itself is definitely warm with the merino wool, but the neck seal issues pretty much invalidate that. Overall a good product in thought, but the design flaws really hold it back from adequate cold water performance. Go with something else until they redesign this one.
