fleece hood

[matesz H2O]

hey guys i just bought a pack of booties 2 pairs of gloves 2 hoods and a fleece hood for $30 american and my question is do i use the fleece hood under water or what? i would think the flece on the inside would get ruined if i was to get it wet. please give me some advice im not gonna use it till i get some more info. i tried to look for some more info online but i failed to find anything.

I read this yesterday. And I did not respond because I did not get it either.
Just wear a normal hood. I use a Scuba Pro hood. Very stretchy and durable.

I have a surfing rash vest that is 1.5mm and slightly fleece lined, its very comfortable and i use it underwater whenever i need to. Just remember that like the rest of your gear, give it a good rinse and wash with fresh (non-salt) water within 24hours after its been used, it should be fine - i have no idea what other uses there would be for it after all... especially if it came with a pack of dive gear!

Someone shoot me down if i'm wrong, but my rashy is fine after a year of use.
