I have one without the hood and as I posted in another post, the problem with this jacket is, it takes over your wardrobe. Mine seems to fit every occasion so that it just goes everywhere with me. I've not tried any other synthetic jacket but for the £50 it cost me, its been fantastic. I haven't tested it in freeing temperatures yet but ultimately don't expect it to replace my down jacket (or want it to), I expect it to replace my fleeces, my wind proofs and 'hand around and it gets a bit chilly' top... all of which it does perfectly well. It even goes well as a smart jacket!
