The latex hood is not flexible so it does not really collect any gas in it. Some gas usually still leaks through the neck seal and the hood on ascent but the amount is small. The hood is nice compared to neopren wet hoods. It is warmer and you don´t get that "Alien Swollen Head" on accent

Thanks,

Any disadvantage of using a latex dryhood?
