Finally gave those heated dive hood liners a shot after years of thinking they were overkill

My old crew in Seattle swore by them, but I always figured my 7mm was enough. Did a 45 minute inspection dive in 42 degree water last month with one and my head wasn't numb for the first time ever. Anyone have a brand they actually trust not to fail underwater?

What kind of testing did the brand you chose actually do on the battery seals? I see a lot of ads but not many details on how they make sure it won't flood when you are sixty feet down. That's the part that makes me nervous about buying one.

You mentioned your head wasn't numb for the first time ever, which really says it all. That's the kind of real world result that makes gear worth it. When you were looking at brands, what was the biggest factor for you in picking one? Was it just word of mouth, or did you find any good info on their actual waterproofing or battery seals?
