Very tight but does the job
Very tight and I went up a size as per the other reviews. It’s funny though as I look like I am pouting all the time 🤣 But it does the job, keeps my head warm and water out of my ears

Just a liiiiiiittle bit tight to fit over my head, but once it's on it does a great job

Superb surf hood. Well worth it for comfort and price
An excellent surf hood. Well worth it even though its a fraction of the price compared to a rip curl or something.Used in Nov and Feb / March surf. Kept me absolutely super warm and comfy. No irritation or issues when wearing in the water. Fine for duck diving etc even with a peak.Doesnt give me a headache even though its tight fit. It also looks a damn site better than most alternatives that are more well known 'surf brands'.very happy.

Brilliant
I was looking for a 'cheap' hood as have only just started out on my bodyboard but the cold English weather meant I was starting to freeze ...Purchased this and am very happy with it ! Fits lovely is made very well and 'it does exactly what it says on the tin' !Would recommend to anyone looking for a good hood to keep you warm. Very cheap but great quality and arrived next day

Value for money but size up!
As other reviews have said definitely size up. My head is 57cm and I needed an XL. These hoods are fine and do the job but definitely not the same quality as the slightly more expensive hoods from Gul and Cskins etc. I got this one cause everywhere was out of stock but then got a Cskins one for not much more and it's definitely a lot better. Still this one works well and nice to have a back up so will still use it as it is functional.

Order 2 sizes bigger than what you need!
I ordered a large even though on the size chart I'm a small, and I did this based on another review on here.....the size feels about right to me. I'd suggest if you are small, get a large, and a medium get an xl. Although the back feels fine, your face does have the possibility of getting squeezed through the hole. It seems pretty good for the money however, especially for occasional usage!

Great warm hood
Bought as a gift for my kayak obsessed Son. He always a helmet, laterley a membrane drysuit. However he was complaining about a cold head. I bought this because it is made of well insulating neoprene, as in wetsuits. It is thin so goes under his helmet with East. Being thin it is also comfy and flexible and does not impede his hearing too badly. His verdict -- BRILLIANT *****
