Having a chin strap will help keep it in place better than just a cap - and hopefully it will be less restrictive than a full hood. What has your experience been?

I'm so glad I don't have hair.

Amen!

Although, the sun-protection from the scap caps is looking fairly appealing.

Anyone have one they want to part with, since they don't stay on hairy heads very well? (judging by the complaints here) I'd like to see how well they adhere to my dome. And downright cheap is better than merely inexpensive.

A very wise man once said " If you can't look good doing it, it ain't worth doing". Matthew 6. psalm 7:23.

Does ST carry these? I haven't seen them on the site. I'd likely buy one!

What thread is this? What the HE 2X hockey sticks are you talking about.

I have struggled with the hair issue for a long time. There are a couple things that help me. First, is applying some leave-in conditioner right after I get out of the water to help the comb out. I usually braid my hair, then clip my bangs back. To keep the strays out of my mask and strap though, I have used this. I got it at REI and love it for it's many uses. I put in on before donning my mask and it really has helped. It's called the Buff Original Buff. It also makes putting a hood on a little easier and is great for the boat ride home when my bangs are usually trying to blind me.

I've had a beanie since about January. I find that the beanie, under my 7mm hood, gives me great warmth in the Winter midwest diving temps when the water at depth is barely in the 40s and the surface temps are colder.
