A cold face is just part of the dive, in the north as we Canadians & upper US residents know.
Spring water temperature right now is 32-34°F (0-1°C).
I wear a dry suit with attached latex hood. I find it seals better than neoprene.
My hood is trimmed close and overlaps the top of my mask skirt.
This allows me to exhale air into my hood the make anice warm bubble.
I wear a neoprene under hood for insulation. I wear dry gloves in water below 50°F (10°C), and 7mm wet kevlar (zebra mussels) gloves above 50°F.
