The first thing I did after I got my last jacket was remove the hood. My helmet keeps my head plenty warm. On those few days a season that it is in the single digits or colder I wear a thin hat under my helmet.

After doing some research it seems the arcteryx brand with gore-tex is highly rated and very warm so I'm leaning in that direction but again would prefer a removable hood and most seem permanent.

I just bought my 3rd Arcteryx jacket.Love these uninsulated shells.I have 2 theta AR and a new softshell version that is almost identical.The hoods fit over my fat oversized head/helmet(XXL) but I only use it when standing around or riding the chair when stormy.

I put mine up last week due to snow making (i.e. "precip") and extreme cold/wind. Other than that it stays down. Doesn't interfere with vision.
