Questions & Answers

JOHN M : Diving in the north east. Do you recommend the 5mm or 7mm?Laird M : 7mm for sure.TANYA V : 7mm definitely. I wear my 5mm in 72 degree water in FL, so I can only imagine the NE water is much colder! Hope this helps!SUZETTE R : Yes......DON H : I wear the 5mm in the high 60's low 70's if your doing repetative dives. Any colder and I would recommend the 7mm. I wear a 5m suit with the 5m hood. Hope this helps.
Shopper : Greetings: My head size is 34 3/4 and my neck size is 16. Should I order an XL? I read the size chart but one of the reviewers said to order the next size up. Much thanks, GlennDYLAN B : I ordered per the size chart and I'm happy with my fit. Sorry I can't tell you at the moment what size my head, neck, or hood are though I'm probably on the larger size.LANCE M : Hello, Sorry it took so long to reply. I bought a large. My head is 23 1/2 and neck is 17 1/2 and the hood is a little tight but I think that is how it is supposed to fit. Hope this helps.JAVIER H : I went by the chart, and ordered the size that matched my measurements, it's a bit of a tight fit, but not uncomfortable.MICHAEL R : 34 3/4? Is this in inches? That's rather large. If by chance you meant 24 3/4 the xl will be fine. My measurements are 24 1/2 head, 17 neck and the xl fits me fine. This hood is warm, comfortable and the zipper is an added bonus. I've used it in water temps to the mid 50's.MINDY K : My neck is 13 and my head measured around forehead is 20.5. The large fits me perfectly.MARK S : I went by the size chart and... it's just a little too snug. The main problem I have is around the neck. I wish my hood was a bit larger. I often feel like it's chocking me!AUSTIN H : I would definitely get the next size up!SCOTT G : Yes order the next size up. Mine was to tight. I would even think about two sizes up.BRIAN T : Glenn, I have the Hood you are inquiring about and initially ordered the XL. I have an 18" neck and it was way too tight. They happily exchanged it for the 2XL which fits great. I would think the XL would fit you but they exchange it if it doesn't.
Shopper : Hi, The relevant circumference of my head is 60cm. I have tall head. Which size is good for me? Thanks, LLBEN D : I'd go with the xl... I have a large dome that is narrow. Xl worked nicely for me.ELSIE S : I have a medium - sized head, but ordered a large because hoods I've used in the past have seemed to run a size small and were hard to stretch. The hood is very soft and stretches easily, seals well, and is comfortable. On a larger head I would definitely order an XL.PANAGIOTIS M : Hi, the circumference of my head is also 60cm and the hood I got is XL, it fits me pretty well. Hope this is helpful for you.PANAGIOTIS M : Hi, the circumference of my head is also 60cm and the hood I got is XL, it fits me pretty well. Hope this is helpful for you.DAVE W : This is a great hood - used it in the Galapagos and, if anything, was too warm. I'd go with the XL. I tried the L and it was too snug (my teenage son wore it instead. Or, buy the L and XL and return one after trying it on.DYLAN B : Leisure Pro offers a PFF Guarantee. Since your head fits into 2 different categories you should probably make an educated guess and just pick one. Worse case, if it won't work, you can exchange for the other size w/o extra shipping charges.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?HARRY T : I own 3 mm Pinnacle Merino wool XT Tempo wetsuit. The wool and everything about suit is great including easy on and off and warmth. I'm buying a 7 mm Pinnacle XT wetsuit and 5 mm hood rather than 7 mm as recommended for Southern California diving by sales staff Ben P over chat. I'm hoping zippered is easy to put on. Merino wool is the best. Slides over skin easily as if dry, even if slightly wet.

Best hood for the money.

Nice tight fit, but not constricting. Nice and warm.

Pinnacle 5mm Merino Titanium Lined Zippered Diving Hood Review - Scuba Gear Reviews

Very warm and comfortable hood. While only 5mm thick it feels like 7mm. I really like the fact it has the zipper in the back to allow for easier on and off.

It might work for some...

Wearing this with a 5 mil wetsuit made me feel like I was choking the whole time. I used the return program to get a larger size, but same result. Might be different for different body styles, but for me it was just too restrictive.

Too hard to get over my head

Hoods are great for diving but they are awful at getting over your head if you have any kind of neck problem. This hood was hard to get over my head even with the zipper. The zipper barely opened up the space for your head. Pretty useless, I had to go with a custom made hood because every hood on the market was hard to get on. I was hoping this zippered hood would work but it was not better than non zippered hoods. If fact, there was a non zippered hood from another company that was easier to get on. ???

Not what I hoped for, poor design for what I needed.

Best delivery and service I have experienced and have ordered from many other online dive shops. This is by far the best.

Excellent Hood

I used this hood to dive at the Bonne Terre mine in Missouri. Very warm and comfortable hood. I really like the fact it has the zipper in the back to allow for easier on and off.

I'm a cold water wimp, adore this hood

Great hood for fellow cold water wimps. I dislike bulky scuba exposure wear and I wore this hood this weekend in 68-70F waters with a 3mm fullsuit and a 2mm neoprene vest over the fullsuit, no gloves. Was absolutely toasty. Probably would go as low as 65 degrees in that setup, lower if gloves were added. Love the hood so much that I bought one for my BF as well, he loves it too. I'm a dive instructor if that makes a difference. I'm a petite chick yet the LARGE hood fits me best, so if you can try it on before ordering that may be best. I don't wear large for anything else.

Super product !!

While only 5mm thick it feels like 7mm because of the merino lining. Pinnacle makes great products, I have merino gloves that are very warm also.

Super product !!

By PATRICK S.

While only 5mm thick it feels like 7mm because of the merino lining. Pinnacle makes great products, I have merino gloves that are very warm also.

The Merino Lined 5mm Hood is a full-featured 5mm wetsuit zippered hood. Built to the same exacting standards as our 7mm hoods, the 5mm Hood is ideal for divers who chill easily in warm water, cool water, and hearty cold-water divers. Constructed from 5mm titanium lined nylon 2 neoprene throughout the head and neck areas, with Pinnacles patented Merino lining throughout. Merino lining adds up to 35% more thermal efficiency then standard neoprene rubber alone. Merion also does not promote the growth of bacteria, making it hygienic and reduces odor. The Hoods seams are glued and flat-lock stitched for strength and durability.

The hood is equipped with a 3mm face seal with smooth skin seal can be trimmed to custom fit the face mask seal. Hood has a non-direct automatic vent that allows air to escape as necessary from the top of the hood while restricting water to re-enter. The 5mm Merino Lined Hood offers greater warmth than most standard 7mm hoods yet is as light and flexible as other manufactures traditional 5mm hood. Ideal for cool to cold waters, the 5mm Merino Lined Hood will keep you warm and comfortable dive after dive. Donning and doffing are made easy with the gusseted rear zipper.
