That junction is the classic way in, and it is covered. Between hives, the whole hood folds back onto your shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"band d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nar\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"eyebrow\"\u003eStraight answer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThis is a single-layer suit.
