With the colder air temps and cloudy skies last week I bought a 1.5mm detached hood to wear at a spot where I expected to be sitting a while.
I was mostly curious to see how much additional warmth a hood would produce.
I wore a 3/2 going on it's 3rd season. Water was 57, air was 50s, wind was 5-7 knots.
Pros - I was burning warm.
Cons - Movement was insanely constricted. I lasted 10 mins before paddling in and tossing it on the beach.
The neck on my suit fits properly. I think this is part of the problem. lol.
Now I understand the squid lid, as dumb as it looks.
