Wet suit undervests and hoods

Has anyone any views on wet suit undervests, with or without hoods. It
is for under a 5mm one piece in the med in spring / autumn.

Fourth Element have a vest and Scubapro have a .5mm vest with a 2.5mm
hood.

Any experiences would be gratefully received as always.

I've used a BodyGlove hooded vest ~5mm under a 5mm S-Tek for warm water to
about 20°C.

Initially bought the vest as I got really cold with water flushing through
my suit when snorkelling / freediving. Later realised that that wasn't going
to solve the problem, but it is nice for deeper colder scuba dives as it
stops that little creep of cold water in through the neck and down my back.

The hood is a little tight so I may lop that off at my jawline, and just
keep the long neck.
