In Response To: Re: Cold weather wear (Frank)

I don't have a neoprene hood. (yet)

I also have a bad head cold from rolling practice on Saturday.

Any preference for neoprene vs. fuzzy rubber hoods? Full neck coverage (like a diver's hood) or just skullcap/ears? Seems to me that FR would allow you to hear better and having something with neck coverage will keep you warmer as well.

Who is buying a neoprene hood before he goes out next time!

: Mary: The short answer seems to be that everyone starts out with a long john
: wet suits. Later a dry top can be added to that. I think my most important
: piece of cold water gear is my wet suit hood. You should buy a hood when
: you buy your long john wetsuit.
