No wish to be controversial, but you don't really need a hood if you wear a helmet.
I took mine off and I leave it at home.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I've never been cold without it either. Neck on jacket done up high, buff, goggles and helmet. Maybe if I had some sort of collar-less jacket I'd get a cold neck, but seems unlikely.

Has anyone seen any that have stow-away hoods (and are not exorbitant)?
|
Yes. This years Aldi soft shell jacket came with a hood that tucks away under the collar. Less than £40.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Hood firmly attached to jacket
Pulled over helmet many times.
Out skiing in the blizzard while the rest of the hoodless peeps all hid in the bar "because it's too cold"!

Serriadh, This. If you use a shell of any kind (soft or hard) the hood will be relatively thin and lightweight and pack away in some fashion. It'll also do a reasonable job of keeping the weather out. Its only insulated jackets which have big bulky hoods after all.
Not true I've got a hard shell NF one with a fixed external hood. I used to hate skiing with it untill I started wearing a helmet and a rucksack, I love it now. Disclaimer it's 14 years old so maybe they dont make em like they used to and it's more of a mountain jacket than a ski jacket.

dangly hood or detachable dangly hood. What is going on - I don't want a hood catching the wind behind me or collecting snow. And if I detach it I'm not going to take off my jacket in a snowstorm to re-attach it.
|
so you don't want a detachable hood but you would want to attach it in a snowstorm. Make your mind up.
