Questions and Answers for LavaCore by Oceanic Trilaminate Polytherm Hooded Dive Vest:
Steve:
I want to get a hooded vest and was thinking of a Lavacore but now I see that there are several to choose from. I would where this under a wet suit some of the time. What do you suggest?

The Lavacore is a great product and is as warm as a 2mm material. A 3mm hooded vest would be warmer but add more buoyancy.
Anna:
Do you have to wear a neoprene hood over the LavaCore hood for diving in San Diego?
Also, can the LavaCore vest be altered if one were to lose weight?
Thanks!

A hood over this in colder water would make sense and can be altered with standard sewing tools.
