Questions & Answers

Shopper : Head is 22" and neck is 14". What size should I buy?Mario C : no neck sizing on size chart.. by head circumference is the ML...
RICHARD Y : I have a 16in neck and 22 in head. What size should I get?KEVIN F : Try Large.
Shopper : What's the size difference between the medium and the medium-large? My head fits in the medium category, but my neck is 15" in the large category. Advice? ThanksSHELLIE W : Hood has a pretty long tuck in neck on it. Great hood for the money.DAVID R : Not all folks are built the same, i.e., our faces are not symmetric. Some folks have a medium head with big ears and some folks have a full neck and medium head. If you find yourself in this situation, a medium may fill like your're chocking, a large may be more comfortable. Note as well, that the bib of the hood is tucked in the wet suit, at least mine is. Comfort is key!HEATHER D : I don't know the specific difference between the two sizes. Leisure Pro has a fantastic return policy. I would order both sizes and send back the one that doesn't fit. Note that you don't want the neck to be too tight, as that can cause circulation problems, including light headedness - not what you want to mess with while diving! Hope this helps.IVAN G : I don´t think that I can help you with the size, but I can tell you that the quality of this hood is very poor, mine tear at first use. Don´t buy it, you should to find another brand.WILLIAM W : The medium should be fine. It is a very good hood.VITA M : I would go with the large. My son wears a large and has a 15 inch neck, he said it is more comfortable.
Shopper : i have a big head and i was hesitating ??? with the XL size that i got, normally i'm Large and my wetsuit is Large as well (in fact the same Pinnacle model that matches this hood) Since the size Large was out of stock i took the risk of getting the XL and fitting too big for me but for the price i decided to purchase it anyways, today i got it right away after i did my order couple days ago (excellent service from LeisurePro!) then i try it right away...i'm SO GLAD the Large was out of stock and i got the XL!!! fits just perfect for my head and still is kinda "tight" but i know is brand new and eventually it will get "better" like other hoods i used before, i just know now that the Large will not fit me at all! so if you have a big head like me and are thinking about getting the Large...Don't do it! get the XL instead! (btw my head is between 23 and 24 inches of circumference at the level of my eyebrows, hope this help!) IMHO: seriously get Pinnacle! one of the best (or maybe the best!) brand of wetsuits out there, excellent quality and even better than some SP or AQLNG brands at an even better price! I've been using them for many years for Cave Diving in Yucatan...and they are outstanding! rocks, lime stone, branches in the jungle, tarantula's bites and a dog chewing my boots once! i saw this other "well positioned" brands at the same time and they just don't last! As we said Pinnacle has the CE aproval = Cave Exploration!William P : Thanks for the review
Shopper : How do I know what size hood to order?LeisurePro S : The general rule of thumb is to order the size hood that matches your wetsuit size.

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.

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

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 5mm wetsuit hood. Built to the same exacting standards as Pinnacle's 7mm hoods, the 5mm 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.
