to above, removable hood is a non option, as I already have the jacket picked out- I'm just having trouble deciding between a hood or no hood.
I guess yeah that would be my primary want for one- using it without a helmet. I guess a beanie would suffice, but I'm also sort of thinking about using it on the skintrack when a hat would just be another thing to lose/drop in the snow/fumble with. You have the exact jacket I'm talking about- do you ever find yourself wishing it had a hood?
