Where does the mask go????

this is a very dumb question, but does your mask go under or over your wetsuit hood?

Re: Where does the mask go????

I cut my hoodie to accomodate the shape of my mask, cause even if I fold the hoody over my mask movement under water still causes openings in the seal. To get the correct shape put on your hoody with the mask over it and draw the profile with a peice of chalk and then simply take out your scissors. Only problem is if you change your mask then the profile probably wont fit

Re: Where does the mask go????

My mask pisses water when its over the hood. There is plenty of room between then too, I can't work it out at all. So I wear the straps under the hood and its fine. I guess whatever works for you is best. What I have noticed though, is I dont get ear squeeze with the strap under the hood

over. If under, it would open a way-in for water into the hood, that's why.

Over the hood! Snorkel difficult to place otherwise

Over the hood! Very hard to fix problems with the mask if the mask is under the hood and you have to remove the hood to remove your mask.
