When trying them on you want snug but not tight. Bear in mind that you will have a reg in your mouth so make sure there is space for that. Also make sure it has a system for venting gas at your crown (normally a hole or small mesh vent)- either that or you will get a conehead as any gas that makes if into the hood has no where to go.

As I've said many times, I'm a wimp when it comes to water temperature. I'll always upgrade my hood as soon as I find something warmer.
