Measured head and used sizing guide on 4th element website but hood was way too small, ended up travelling to dive shop to find hood that fitted - 2 sizes up!

Check your size on the Fourth Element site first - I came up as an extra large, which I wouldn't have ordered otherwise

Quite thin but works well dived last night comfort was good. The trick is just to trickle air from your mask into the hood this make a nice the hood feel really warm

Great hood, others I have tried end up hurting my jaw (no idea if this is common or I'm just weird), but this is a great fit, and was nice and warm in 10deg at Capernwray.

great fit if a little tight at first but super comfortable underwater nice and warm and no problems equalizing.

Although the hood is 5mm thick, it is not bulky and is very comfortable to wear. I’ve used it at the NDAC Chepstow in 8 degrees and it kept my head warm and toasty. I was on the border between XL and XXL so went for the bigger size which was a good decision as the hood fits very well.

Enjoyed diving with this hood, it was comfortable having the hood underneath the chin as well as on the chin as well . also was fine carrying the hood by placing my head through the face area using it as a necklace as such when walking to entry points for dives.

I ordered a fourth element hood at a good price and the cheapest postage to Dublin, Ireland of any company on the web and it arrived within 4 days! Thank you! Excellent service and the hood is exactly as advertised.
