farmer john wetsuit - wccguitar288 - 06-08-2005
hey i just started diving and i have a question about a wetsuit i just got. i got a 6.5mm farmer john and i am looking for input on whether to get a hooded vest for it to keep the water from going down my neck or getting just a hood. what would you say about that and also would u think the hooded vest would be too bouyant.
thnx

check out thread
I use a hood but not a vest as 3 layers on th echect would be too bulky

I would skip the hooded vest and just get a hood. Make sure the hood has a skirt, unskirted hoods are usually for drysuits, tuck the skirt into and underneath the main suit and your problem with cold water trickling down your neck should be solved.

I'm with the others. Hood works great for cool water. A beanie (hood with neck strap and no skirt) works well for warmer weather; ladies like 'em for keeping hair out of gear.
I don't have that problem...
