In reply to UKC/UKH Gear:

what's a 'grown-on hood' ?

In reply to Doug:

To ensure that the latest technological developments perform to the maximum, it is essential that modern products have additional marketing terms added to their traditional descriptions. Without these words, the "hood" will feel it is merely ordinary and just a lesser part of the jacket, and is therefore less likely to step up to the mark and perform in the harshest conditions. With the addition of the term "grown on", the hood will feel that it has been especially developed as an elite force in the battle against damp curly hair, boosting its confidence no end, and allowing it to excel.

In reply to Doug:

A hood on a jacket that extends directly from the nape without having a separate collar. The alternative where a jacket has a hood attached to a collar is known in industry spiel as a drop hood.

In reply to Mal Grey:

You should stop being so sarcastic and show a little gratitude to this philanthropic body whose only concern "..is helping the public to stride out in confidence this autumn."

What with Brexit, old leaking seams and inappropriately used softshells, the once proud people of Britain have been cowed into meekly watching the rain from coffee shops.

That's no way to live life.

Thanks Berghaus!
