Hooded rashies

[marauding mullet]

Looks like a good idea to keep the sun off the back of the neck, scalp and ears.
There was a guy wearing one out at Ulus when I was there last time but I didn't get a chance to ask him about it.
Googled it but can only find a company in Byron, but their website is up the shit.
Anyone got one, or know anything?

Spearfishing shop would be your best bet MM. Most of the surfing ones will be either polypro with a neoprene hood or all neoprene so probably too warm

Aropec seems to do a hooded lycra one http://www.aropec.com/en/product/Lycra- ... Lycra.html

Thanks GSTQ. Defo don't want Neoprene, this is only for Indo.
O'Neill do one.
Just need to find one in a shop to have a good look at it.

Oh yeah. Wearing a hood is pretty shit mind you. I do so during the winter and I find it messes with my peripheral vision a fair bit and the peak's a bit of a pain in the arse as well. Still, better than feeling like your head's gonna explode (or sizzle) I suppose

don't forget steve shearer, hood gimp extraordinaire

I've got a triple X one, made here in Ballina.

works as intended, though the hood can be a pain in the arse duckdiving. Flip it back if caught inside or tuberiding.

saves the head and neck getting fried a treat.

Give Don a call, he's a great bloke.

Hi Godsave, getting any go-outs?

[godsavetheking]

Hi Steve, yeah managing to stay moderately moist. It's lightening up a bit in the mornings now so the early is back on the cards. Wednesday and Thursday should be ok in fact

You wear a hood this winter?

water's only just under 10 degrees so it's spot-dependent at the moment. yesterday morning, smallish, dry hair paddle, warm WSW wind I didn't bother. weds and thurs pre-first light, minus one with a cold NE wind I probably will.
