    I couldn't afford a new wet-suit last year so just went with a hood, and a cheap and cheerfull one at that.

    The big thing with head gear is to keep the ears warm in my opinion. If your ears get cold, every wave that smashes off you is going to hurt; keep the ears cosy and its not half as bad. My winter season was 10 times better last year as a result.

    Whether its better than a new suit with built in head gear, I have no idea and until I win the lotto, I won't know either, but for the coming season I will be donning my €25 hood again with a smile on my face :)

    If you have the cash get a new suit, with winter coming there is nothing better than having two suit to alternate
