Does anyone else have this problem with the hoods? 
The image is from a VR Guide jacket but the same issue persists on my Kinetic Alpine. 

I really like the VR Guide as it can cope with valley to summits during the colder months, however, if I'm not wearing a buff, or similar, and the hood is pulled tight, the highlighted metal ringlets dig into my forehead. 
They can get quite painful as the rings don't lie flat but, as seen in the photo, end up at right angles... basically sticking right into your head!! 

I am a bit fussy when it comes to gear and can focus on the tiniest flaws but this one is bloody annoying... and painful!  
Anyone suffer the same, any suggestions for solution?
