I have the brigg 44 with neoprene cuffs and matching bibs. They are heavy put worth their weight in gold. I spent 10 hours in them one day , with the wind blowing sideways and we had 6 inches of rain come down. The only thing that got wet was my feet thru my gortex boots. That and the occasional drop of rain that ran down my face then my neck to the inside of my rain gear. As far as small hoods mine is so big I would need a 10 inch tall neck and the head the size of herman munster to fill it.
