Comments about Showers Pass Rain Hood:

I purchased this hood to go with my Showers Pass jacket, which has Velcro tabs which match the patches on this hood. I attached it with the hood stretched out as much as possible. Sadly, I have to agree with the other reviewers - this is way too small. The crown and shape of the hood is fine, and it does have nice adjustments for cinching the hood itself. However, it has Velcro straps on the side that you are supposed to be able to attach under your chin for extra waterproofness. I am a very small female (usually buy hats in size small), and this does not reach to attach under my chin! One creative way to compensate, though, is to first pull the cords to cinch the hood, and then tie those together (like a lot of raincoats). The problem still remains that you have these silly flaps which stick out. This hood appears to be well-made and waterproof. But, the manufacturer needs to go back to the drawing board and add at least 1 inch, maybe 2, to the flaps under the chin. If you are really tiny or are willing to tie the cinches like me, this hood will work for you.

Comments about Showers Pass Rain Hood:

I bought this hood for the coldest and wettest of days riding here in Seattle in the middle of the winter. It's mostly been left off my jacket because the neck part doesn't close well (too short material) And it obscures my peripheral vision and seeing is life itself when commuting.

I do use it when it's really really cold and raining. I also wear a thin wool balaclava under it to keep my head warm. And I have to leave the neck part open which does let in some rain, but my ride is long so it's hard to tell which water is rain, and which is my own sweat by the time I get to work.

It's not really worth it though and if I didn't have it I wouldn't buy it again for the little use it gets. (I do use it at lunch time with my bike jacket if I have to go out in the rain.)

Comments about Showers Pass Rain Hood:

I can't quite figure out this hood. It seems to flop to and fro around my head. When velcro'd down to the jacket collar, it seems to pull the hood off my forehead with every neck movement....not enough lenght in the neck fabric. I'd rather wear a plastic bag over my head. A bad purchase. But the jacket it goes with is great!

Comments about Showers Pass Rain Hood:

In wet weather it keeps me dry, in windy weather it keeps the wind out and in cold weather (sub 40 F to well sub 0 F) it helps to keep me warm. I find that it fits me (7 1/2) well, even with a thermal beanie or balaclava underneath. It also fits well under a helmet. I can imagine some folks finding the neck tight - but only if they try to completely overlap the two ends. I usually just overlap the ends very slightly except in the wettest or the coldest weather. In that case it does feel a bit tight, but tight is what keeps out the wind and the rain.

Showers Pass Rain Hood

Pros

Doesn't Fit

Best Uses

Hiking

Comments about Showers Pass Rain Hood:

I was looking for a Balaclava style rain hood that would serve for heavy weather kayaking conditions, and that would fit over a garment Balaclava or hat. This comes nowhere to suiting that purpose. Another problem, which has been pointed out, is that the neck size is too small perhaps except for women and small-sized men. Consequently, I returned it.

Comments about Showers Pass Rain Hood:

With a 7 1/4 hat size and far from a football player's neck it is simply too small, especially around the neck area. If you have a medium hat size and a petite neck it would be great.
