    Otter Bay hood.

    I'm on a trip, and I figured I'd shop online for a new hood (yeah, I'm a nerd) but the Otter Bay site won't load for some reason.

    Anybody have the email information for them?
    I'd like to order one of their hoods.

    Thank you,
    Mitch
    When do YOU start to accept a lower standard of performance? don't crap on a cupcake and tell me it's frosting.

    I just don't log dives
    Lie about your jaw dimensions just a little. They are known for making the jaw way to tight. Otherwise it is the best cold water wet hood available.

    How much would you recommend adding to the measurement?

    1/4", maybe?

    Thanks for the heads up.

    I've had Otter Bay fans tell me to do the measurements with a reg in mouth, and jut the jaw forward just a bit.

    I ordered my hood a couple of weeks ago.
    I took the measurements using your suggestion.

    Thank you,

    Will do, Fisheater.

    It should be finished up any day now, I'm hoping to have it in a week.

    Update:

    I followed the advice offered by Peter_C and TSandM, and took the measurements as suggested.
    well......surprise! surprise!


    The hood came back fitting perfectly. No excessive tightness around the jaw area.

    Thanks for the suggestions.
