How much do you want to spend? (Pick a figure between £20 and £1000)

Hole in the head
I have avoided cutting a hole in my hood as I quite like a small cushion of air around my head - it keeps me a lot warmer. If too much air gets in I give my head a pat to squash it out.

My suggestion is to keep your hood as it is for a bit. If you get annoyed with having air in it then cut a little hole (start small!)

I'm with Paul on this, i quite like the air in my hood - keeps the head warm. Once made the mistake of squishing all the air out by pressing on top of my head and ohmegolly it was smuggling peanuts cold!!

Not felt the urge to cut additional holes in my hood - but I do have a second nice dry hood for the second dive (second pair of gloves too).

Ok, I'm a wuss but I don't care

Thumbs up
I have five hoods in the shed from various suppliers, they always seem to end up as too small or get ripped.

The O'three i just bought, is by far the best hood i have owned. It's the dogs testicles, it really is, and has vent holes in it, with a neoprene flap to stop the water coming in.

I feel so much better when I put my O'three hood on. Its so good I have had to pull it open in order to equalise, as the hood material disappears inside your ear.
