3mm hooded feral works great up here in OBSF, I think I'm going to order another one as my 3 year old one is starting to give way

Being an aging kook. I keep the hood on until the water hits 60 mainly because it keeps earplugs in.

it's a very popular look these days. I just can't do that. Still not really used to hood, usually pull the hood down unless it's freezing. So booties (and ear plugs) before hood.

I was just about to pull the trigger on those 4mms until I saw the sole. Looks like Colby stepped on a Yeezy.
