Hi, I (still) have a Bozeman Mtn works Coccoon pullover that’s in great shape. One reason I don’t often use it is that it doesn’t have a hood.
I want to pair it with a synthetic insulated hood. I probably will end up sewing it on permanently, to keep things simple.
I only know of the Enlightented Equipment hoodlum. Anyone have experience with that? Is the shock cord across the forehead uncomfortable?
What others are out there? How well do they work?
I found MLD makes one too, but I think it’s not for me. In the pictures it comes very low over the eyes.
(Due to my height?) I always struggle with keeping hoods out of my eyes.
