Review Summary

I use this hood for coastal kayaking on the Great Lakes during winter. I’m 6’ 2”, 210 lbs (sorry, don’t know head/hat size). I purchased an XX-large hood. It’s easily put on. I don’t feel claustrophobic in it. It does have a generous neck which is fine with me. I can easily hear when wearing it. I’ve used it so far in 26-32° weather and never felt cold. It does wear down on your jaw and lips a bit, from the compression, so talking a lot may tire your lower face a bit. I was totally dry, warm, and comfortable wearing it in a freezing rain on Lake Michigan. I can’t comment on it for scuba diving but I do recommend it for cold weather kayaking. I’m glad I purchased it. Good investment.

Purchased for open water lake swimming (48-55 degree water temp) due to pandemic pool closures. Worked well to expose minimal face area in cold water. Flexible, comfortable, warm, and fits under wetsuit collar with no leaking or rubbing issues. I uded the hood until the water temp started exceeding 55 degrees - it became a bit too warm. If I purchase again, I might go for the thinner size.

There's no better way to enter the water than with NeoSport XSPAN. Wrap yourself in pure comfort and performance. XSPAN will X-span your X-Spectations of comfort, performance, and value in an entry level wetsuit accessory. XSPAN provides nearly limitless stretch by combining 2 super elastic fabric laminates with a super soft neoprene rubber. The result is unparalleled performance and comfort in a nylon 2 hood that will stretch your budget as well as your time in the water.
Layering is the key to warmth when we Scuba dive. By layering we breathe slower conserve our air supply, so we can make longer and more comfortable dives. NeoSports XSPAN 5/3mm Vented Bib Hood, can allow your diving to be more enjoyable. Smart anatomical design pays big dividends in comfort with this multi-thickness hood. The thinner, oversized bib is made to tuck easily into wetsuits forming additional layering for a good seal and an overall anatomical shape that helps eliminate sags and air pockets.
The face seal can be trimmed to precisely match unique facial contours while an integrated vent allows bubbles to escape through the top of the hood preventing ballooning without promoting water exchange. All seams are glued and stitched for durability and to limit water exchange. The hood body is made from XSPAN nylon 2 neoprene 5mm material with the bib being 3mm. Hood is available in multiple sizes and is black in color.
