Great warm hood.

Great hood for the Pinnacle Black Ice drysuit tucks in around the top of the suit nicely and keeps your head warm, highly recommended.

Order a Size Up

Good warmth for colder waters. The Pinnacle merino wool system is awesome. It mates well with my Pinnacle merino wool wetsuits. I like the zipper, too. Suggest you go up a size when ordering. I ordered a large and was way too tight when normally a large would fit. Nevertheless, a great hood - just get the right size.

Good so far

This is my first diving hood but after five dives I'm pretty happy with it. It fit me fine without having to do any trimming and has shown no signs of wear. It has kept me warm on dives from 70 to 43 degrees.

Great hood

Great hood! Zipper makes it very easy to get on and off. Very comfortable and the material around the neck makes a good seal with a wetsuit reducing water movement. I have used it in water as low as around 50 degrees F and was nice and warm. Only used it a handful of times so can't comment on how it holds up but I'm very satisfied so far.

The hood worked great!

Used this hood down to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Could have gone colder. Great fit. I have a large Pinnacle wetsuit and the large hood fit great.

Easy on-off and still a good fit

The zipper makes donning and removal a snap while still providing a snug fit.

Great product

Once you have the right size, this product is perfect. Very confortable and warm. Initially went with Pinnacle chart (L) but exchanged it for an XL.

A few problems

Well made Pinnacle product but has a few design flaws. First, while the zipper may help with fit, it's one more place for water to leak through the neck seal. I've never had an issue donning a standard hood, so the zipper is only a drawback. Also, the skirt really is a few inches too short. With any substantial head movement it pulls out from the wetsuit and allows water movement down your back. The hood itself is definitely warm with the merino wool, but the neck seal issues pretty much invalidate that. Overall a good product in thought, but the design flaws really hold it back from adequate cold water performance. Go with something else until they redesign this one.

Warm on the Head, but Cold on the Back

I purchased this product to go with my Pinnacle wetsuit. Fits well on the head but the bib seems too short in the back. Once you look down enough times the bib tends to pop out of the back of the suit. This let's cold water shoot down the back. Make the bib 2" longer in the back and you have the perfect product. I would recommend this if you have a high neckline on your wetsuit OR a really short neck.

The Merino Lined Hood is the warmest hood available, and will keep a diver's head warm and comfortable in even the most severe water temperatures. Constructed from 7mm titanium lined 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 hood is equipped with a 3mm face seal with smooth skin seal can be trimmed to custom fit the face mask seal. Hood has an automatic vent that allows air to escape as necessary from the top of the hood while restricting water to re-enter. Donning and doffing are made easy with the gusseted rear zipper. Hood is black in color and is available in multiple sizes.
