    does anybody else have a killer tan line around their face because of your hood? mine is horrible, its a perfect circle around my face. everyday i get asked what the hell is wrong with my face because the tan line is so noticeable. people asked if i got a spray tan, have some sort of disease, or cancer. i also get it bad while just wearng a 3/2 and thats known as a "*hit head". maybe i just get tan really easilly, but does this happen to you?

    i normally have my hood on, then take it off then back on etc. to try and avoid it, or make it not as noticeable as if you had your hood on the whole session, but you really dont need a hood anymore, you should be solid, ive been out of a hood for the past 2 weeks in the ocmd area...here comes summer

    Even when you go hoodless you still get the wetsuit neck tan line then you really start looking weird.. haha I guess it's just part of it all.

    Yeah the neck tan line isn't too bad, but my face tan line from this winter was epic, it was a brown then a white outline of it, what makes it even worse is people don't know what its from and when you try to explain it they still dont even know

    You should see my neck wetsuit tan. It's killer. Wbsurfer can tell you.

    The worst thing is that most of the chicks thinks it's from turtle necks :eek:

    I tan super easily, though, and in the summer, I could be mistaken black.
