    Why not attached hoods????

    I have an oneil FJ7000 with an attached farmerjohn inside AND an attached hood. Aqualung makes a superstreatch 8mm with an attached hood. A few drysuits and wetsuits from the 1980's had attached hoods. I bet they are a hassel to deal with on EVERY dive day

    Dryglove failure?

    the OS System dry glove rings have a modified Atlas style gloves where they glue a latex seal on the glove to fit it to the ring so there is not cotton lining causing leaks via wicking.
