Questions & Answers

Shopper : Is this hood (3mm Pinnacle) merino-lined?KEVIN F : No, it is not.
Shopper : does this hood keep most water out ?DANIEL M : Yes it does. It fits very well and is quite comfortable. I wear it in water temps down to 60 degrees and it keeps my bald head warm.DAVE O : yes, this is the best hood I have ever used!MANUEL R : All wetsuits allow some water in but it's not a continuous flow of water so once your body warms the little water that goes in then you stay relatively warm. This 3mm is good for cool water down to about 60 deg water. If you dive in colder water you may consider a 5mm or thicker hood. Personally I like this one better since thinner means more flexible and I don't mind a little cold.THOMAS J : The one I purchased fits me so perfectly that most water stays out. The small amount that gets inside is warmed quickly by that Merino lining. I like it very much and I would recommend this hood to anyone. I have been diving for over 27 years and I know a good product when I see when one. Tom JaglowitzFRANK A : It keeps some out, but you definitely come back up with wet hair. I don't really notice it so I'm not the best one to answer. FrankANDREW W L : The hood is not designed to be a 'dry' hood, so water does infiltrate as it's supposed to. That being said, it is snug enough that there is a constant flow of cold water cycling around your head. It does keep one warmer.STEVE M : It was my first time using a hood and the first time I didn't feel water in my ear canal after diving. So I would say it does help but I still use drops after the end of the diving day - just in case.KURT A : I haven't been able to keep the water out with this hood. I've stopped using it and gone to a cap style.ABHISHEK A : I've purchased a 3mm, 5mm, and 7mm hood from Pinnacle and have found them to be quite effective at keeping me warm and reducing the amount of water that can go underneath. The only thing I have noticed with my 7mm (which I wear more often) is that the water doesn't escape easily enough through the top vent holes; it's an easy fix with a hot nail (melt through the neoprene).ROMAN S : if fit well, ..........yes, but more important is, that keep head warm above 65-70F and does't trap the air on topDAN H : The hood fits tight, but is part of a wetsuit and designed for water to get in and stay in. It does that job well. The hood is pretty warm. For the price, you can't beat it.GEORGE S : The hood acts just as a wet suit by preventing water flow while retaining a water film that keeps the head warm. I use the hood in 55-65 degree water in depths of 90-130 feet with a 7mm wet suit and find the hood warm, comfortable, and easy to put-on. I have used the hood over fifty times and it has shown no wear. The quality is great for the low price.GREGORY M : good hood. worked well for me on about 50 dives in Hawaii and Mexico this year.HEATHER B : Out? No, it is not a dry hood. But it keeps you warm and keeps your hair out of your mask. But you will be wet.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?JORDAN R : Good price point for a ever growing 11 year old.DUANE S : 5mm is too hot in 80+ degree waterRichard H : To keep my head warm.THOMAS J : It looked like exactly what I wanted. 3mm, face seal, Merino wool, all black. Just what the doctor ordered.

Overall a good product

Very well made, but runs considerably small. Also if you have a prominent jaw line this will likely not fit very comfortably. Vent holes work well, as does the "seal" section around the neck.

Pinnacle 3mm Diving Hood Review - Scuba Gear Reviews

What can I say-Typical Pinnacle quality,well made,good material.Thats why 4 stars.However it does not have a pronounced chin,its cut real funny.If you like your hood ridding on your jaw under your chin,this hood will not dissapoint.I am returning it. Look at the photo and you can see what I mean just looking at it.

way too small

Warm but not bulky and vents prevent constant adjustment and need to readjust mask strap. Purchased the 3mil to start and grabbed this one went it went on sale.

One size larger

Fits snug but not too loose or too tight. Better tight then loose to keep cold water from leaking in. Suggestion to other buyers to go 1x size larger

Pinnacle 5mm Hood

Perfect for my purposes. Fits like a glove; ability to be trimmed works well with a full-face mask.

Nice tight fit and great price

The fit is perfect for me and therefore allows in little water. The quality seems adequate for the price and I'm sure it will prove out.

Nice hood for cold blooded underwater ninja

This is a great hood because it comes down far enough to keep your neck and top of your chest warm. Beats the heck out of a chinstrap that rubs with smaller hoods . I did have to trim around the shoulder some but the stitching is solid and it keeps the warth in.

Runs small

Ordered a small online based on their size chart, but had to go into to store to exchange it. I wound up being a large-extra large (I'm a woman, 5'7", and thought I had a fairly normal-sized head), but found even that to be VERY constricting. The face opening seemed too small generally, it pushed up against the regulator. I wound up going with the Neosport Xspan hood and much preferred it.

Me and my hoody

This is my first time using a hood and it is not the most fun piece of scuba equipment I have ever purchased. Very restrictive but it does keep one's head warm at depth. I discovered if I leave the apron outside my wetsuit it is a bit more manageable and still provided the warmth I am looking for. I suspect after I get a little more experience the apron will go in my wetsuit but for now I am OK with it outside.

Order larger size

I wear a small wetsuit but have a normal sized head. The large (larger than my measurements) was still too small. Reordered the x-large. I expect it to fit. The quality of the materials is excellent, just a too tight.

Wrong measurements

I measured the widest part of my head and ordered accordingly, when it arrived it was hard to put on, my face super squished and I didn't even last 3 mins before my jaw started to hurt(yeah i know right?) because the hood was putting too much restrain on it, fortunately I will be returning it and ordering a size bigger which I am confident will fit perfectly and looks that it's made from good material that will last a while, after all Pinnacle is a good brand :)

Great value

I swim in a swim spa that is kept at 70deg and every hood that I haave tried out allows TONS of water in the suit. This one seals up better than anything else. I contribuite that to the smooth skin bib. It makes for a lot less cold water being flushed into the suit! Thinking about getting a spare.

Size chart not accurate

I ordered this item twice and both times it was way too small. According to my measurements, I should have taken a medium, which was extremely tight. I ordered the next size up (med/lg) and it was quite tight as well. I also found that the neck wasn't long enough for me so the bib did not tuck into my wetsuit well. All in all, I found it very uncomfortable.

Did better than I expected

I bought this to use in what I expected to be cool water, it turned out to be very cold water, about 45 degrees, but the hood kept me reasonably warm, I was not too cold to finish the dive. The fit was very good and I am very happy with it. To be honest i spend a lot of time out of doors sometimes in very cold temperatures so take that into consideration. It is definately something I would reccomend to a friend.

Good hood - saved my brain from freezing

Water dropped unexpectedly from 74F to 54F overnight due to currents. Luckily I had this hood in the bag as it made a freezing dive tolerable. I did have to trim the area around the mouthpiece just a touch with scissors to give clearance, but otherwise I was happy to have this in the bag.

A great hood

By MICHAEL S.

The best hood I have owned. Spent 2 hours in 60 deg. water removing docks with 50 deg. outside Temp. And 15 knot north Wind No water in and great fit.

The 3mm Hood is a full-featured 3mm wetsuit hood. Built to the same exacting standards as Pinnacle's 7mm hoods, the 3mm Hood is ideal for divers who chill easily in warm water, cool water, and hearty cold-water divers. Hood is constructed from 3mm titanium lined nylon 2 neoprene throughout the hood and neck areas, has a large bib that tucks into wetsuit for a better seal and greater warmth, smooth-skin outer surface on bib creates seal against wetsuit, and 3mm face seal with smooth-skin seal. Smooth-skin, large bib, and face seal all keeping water out. The face seal can be trimmed to any desired size. Hood has a non-direct automatic vent that allow air to escape as necessary from the top of the hood while restricting water to re-enter. Hood is black in color and available in multiple sizes.
