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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Suggest you get a size larger than you usually need.

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.

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.

Very nice hood. I had to reorder once I would go by neck size when purchasing, overall very happy with my purchase.

It is a pain to get on and take off but it works so well the annoyance is well worth the benefits.

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

This hood fits me perfectly. Warm and comfortable. I like it so much that I bought one for my husband and my son.

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.

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.
