Should be only the nitrogen blown stuff that is expensive. Maybe one has a
zipper . I get the no-zipper , short cut , 1/4 inch. I bought two 9 years
ago, still using the first one, but the second one sits dutifully in the van
, ready at any moment.
JT, that is what you pay the 100 bucks for. How many hoods do most people
have to buy in 9 years, and what would that cost? Most hoods crush out at
the depths we dive and don't come back, and are useless paper after a couple
of months. These stay the same indefinitely.
When you see me recommend something that I had made for myself to anyone and
it not be the best available at the time and make the most sense, I will
give you all my dive gear and quit. This is still the best hood, and it
makes all the difference in keeping you warm.

I am a little curious here, why on the page for cave and techdivers the
hood cost 90 for 7CWHN2 and for the 7CWHLP is 115. Then you go to the
accessories page and go to hoods that have the same order numbers as above
and photos for those hoods are used again but they are less than half the
price. If they are both made from G-231N then fine, go with the cheap page,
if they are not why do they use the same number for ordering. The only
difference that is noticeable is on the high dollar page you are called a
"stroke" if you don't use it.

They use Rubatex commercial neoprene that bounces back from repeated
compressions, unlike other neoprene. Hoods are custom made and come in 3mm,
5mm, and 7mm, w/ and w/o face seal. 7mm is the way to go and the face seals
are nice since they help keep water out. You will need to have them add
vent holes when they make it, or you have to burn them your self. Hood cost
about $100 US.
