SHEILAH H How is the hood secured? What type of clip?
MONICA V It's velcro. Very comfortable, no issues at all with anything coming loose.
KATHLEEN G It is a velcro tab. Works fine.
GAIL S The hood is secured by velcro under the chin. The problem I have with this hood is that it needs to be tighter. I have very long hair and when I have the hood on, the hair will tend to move the hood when I am diving.
SHAWN L Hood uses velcro for fastener. I have over 60 dives with mine and never had a problem. I really like the Beanie. I use the velcro to use a ring on my BC to hold the beanie when I am not wearing it or when I am getting on or off a dive boat. Feels smooth under the chin......no scraches, no rub marks from the velcro.
ALEX L The hood is secure. There is no clip. The chin strap connects to the hood with velcro.
MATTHEW G It is secured by Velcro.
DAVID D A velcro clip is used. I wasnt sure about these, but they have really worked great. Good sunproctection on the surface and warmth for moderate waters. Only drawback is that mask must be secured to face, inside of the hat and not on the hat itself, but that is obviously easy fix.
Bill M It has velcro. It works well.
JASON S It uses Velcro. Easy on and off. I've had mine a few years and probably 200 dives later it's in good shape.
JEFFREY F The hood is secured with Velcro. It has held up very well so far
SHEILAH H How many dives have you done with it? I am concerned about the wear on the velcro over time.
JEFFREY F I had the one that this one is replacing for about 5 years, before I lost it on a Public Safety Dive operation. I have lost count on how many dive I had on it. Most of the dives where fresh water. Other team members have similar beanies with velcro, and theirs seem to be holding up very well. They dive a lot in salt water.
ELKE S See where the logo is on the side? That's a one inch Velcro fastener. Very nice hood. I wear mine under a thicker hooded vest, diving CA.
SHEILAH H How many dives have you done with it? I am concerned about the wear on the velcro over time.
ELKE S I'm not worried about wear. The velcro feels strong. Maybe 30 dives so far. I ordered a medium, it's not extemely tight.
