you could always cut off the bib? I have a 5mil henderson, cut the bib off and wear it with my drysuit. They also have a 2/3 mil version.

Henderson makes a Microprene hood that is about 1mm but is has a small bib. Do not know if you can live with that. I have used it without any problems to keep sand out of my suit in the current.
 
I use a Dee-Rag (made by our own ScubaBoard mod) ...

They're stylish and functional ... and work great to keep the ol' bald nubbin' protected in warm water ... :wink:

I'm looking for a hood to wear in warmer water. I have a 7mm Bare drysuit hood, and a 3mm hood with a giant bib that tucks into my wetsuit. I hate the bib.

I'd like to find a 2-3mm hood in the style of the Bare hood (http://www.leisurepro.com/Prod/BREHD.html). The only thing I've been able to find is a dorky beanie like http://www.leisurepro.com/Prod/HNDHGT.html

SOMEONE has to make this, right?


Have you looked into a 2mm hooded vest? http://www.scuba.com/shop/product.asp_Category_28_page_3_recs_10

Scuba.com has a henderson Trilam vest (2mm equivelent) on clearence and a 1-2MM vest for $69.00. They also have a 5-3MM hooded vest (Akona $59.00) that you could use with or without your wetsuit. I have the Akona (use it with my semi-dry 7mm wetsuit) and can vouch for it. Anyway, It looks alot better than a beanie!
 
I don't want a hooded vest. I want something very easy to just take off and put on in between dives.

I'm also not sure about that Harvey's thing... it's pretty dumb looking :wink:
 
Hey, who you calling "dumb looking?" I resemble that.
 
Looking at that avatar, you might look *better* with the Harvey's 'flight cap' on.

And don't look so shocked :D
