I'm a small 14 year old girl- and recently my dog chewed through my wetsuit hood. I get too cold going in without one in the winter- and I don't personally like skull caps. Does anybody know of a cheap, good wetsuit hood that they reccomend that comes in a size small? I was thinking this:

I have a XS sized O'Neill Ultra Seal wetsuit hood which has only been used in the water once but disinfected and cleaned, it comes in the net drawstring bag im asking £25 incl.P+P which i know is double of the price of the hood that you are looking at but its a very good hood. i also paid £30 for it brand new and basically still is. let me know if you are interested

good question. i personally couldn't tell you. i would say 2-3mm, but it depends how good you are with the cold and how much you will be doing. i just know that in my 3mm ultra seal its nice and toastie, and as it tucks into your wetsuit you dont get any water rushing down your neck etc.
