What kinds of hoods are you guys wearing that you can do this?

What is your procedure for doning your mask under the hood?  The heavy 
neoprene hoods that I wear for cold water fit very snug and don't have a lot 
of stretch.  I don't think I could pull it down far enough to get my mask on 
underneath.  Even with the back unzipped.  I tried it once and figured it 
was a useless exercise and something that would only work with thin warm 
water hoods.
