    i got 2 holes in my hood where your chin usually is about 6mm wide/tall.... i dont know exactly how i got 2 holes, but i hung it up and it fell later on, and must of caught on a nail in the garage wall... i wanna know how you can repair this? it doesnt go all the way through, although theres only grid-like threads running through that water can get in, and u can see thru. Im not sure how to repair something like this, and the ripped of neoprene came off and i didnt find them.... HELP!!!!

    run down to your local shop & pick up some neoprene glue...i believe there's actually a thread on here discussing different brands, pluses & minuses of each, etc...just about any brand will do, i use the o'neill stuff b/c that's what my shop carries. it works fine & gets the job done. instructions are usu. on the can.
    good luck!

    Yeah I use the oneil wetsuit repair glue as well . It works good just make sure the hood it totally dry . I used it last week on a tear on one of my lobster mits and it seems to be keeping the water out. It cost 17 bucks plus tax and it come in a metal jar with a brush built into the lid
