I have a Mann Lake full suit and have inspected it thoroughly to see if I could remove the hood so that I could wash the rest of the suit. Are there any secrets on how to remove the hood ?
Thanks
Mike
you can wash the whole thing if it's like this.

i have the jacket and i toss it in on the gentle cycle. does fine. i hang it to dry and it dries quickly.
Yes mine looks very similar.
I have always read not to wash the hood because of the screen mesh. You have done this more than a couple of times ? It did not harm the screen ? This would be great. I only wish to wash it maybe twice a year.

i have washed it a bunch. i wash it by itself on the gentle cycle with the hood zipped around.
Is the mesh screen metal? Just curious. I need a new veil. The one I have has a wire mesh and it rusted. Only lasted two years. I'm not very happy about that.
My hood mesh is not metal.
I just got it out of the washer. I did not look closely, but it looks like the screen is in great shape.
Thanks again.
Mike
I had had the zipper changed out on mine so I can zip it off for washing. The problem I had when washing the hood was not wit the mesh but with the wire breaking through and getting all bent out of shape.
Cheers,
