    I would be too scared to do this on an open cell smooth skin suit. Have you ever done holes on one?

    Yes I have done it on all of my suits. With open cell suits it's actually easier because the nylon burns differently. If you are nervous you could start with a thinner nails and that will create a smaller hole

    @@Janastrain I think my big worry is that if I stretch the hood, for example when putting to on, are the holes a weak point for the suit to tear.

    ​@@LaLtheGaL ​@LaLtheGaL the holes are very small, in comparison to the structure of the suit. This is one of the reasons that you don't put a hole on a seam. I have never had a suit rip from them. What can happen, is if you have nylon on the suit it can create a run. If you use a very hot nail though this usually does not happen.

    @@LaLtheGaL I thread a bit of string around my ears and out the side of my hood. That allows water in without poking a hole in my suit. If I forget the string I just grab a bit of vegetation and do the same thing. Not that I am adverse to poking a hole but it wasn't needed in the past with Rubatex suits so I'm not use to it.
