I can't find that hood at Thruhiker.

Is it this one?

Oh. Ok. Thanks.

You could also just sew a tube shape and put an elastic drawstring in the top. Then you can use it as a neck gaitor or even cover you ears and mouth/nose with it.

My thoughts exactly.
Very functional and not terribly dorky looking.
As a bonus it is EASY to make.

that's a great idea!

Hmmm... I have to admit it's an interesting idea. I'm having trouble picturing a climashield insulated tube flexible enough to be able to do all that (and you would not cover your mouth AND nose, or else you'd have tons of condensation).

I can see it working as a hat though.

Would these patterns be helpful?

Yes very helpful. All of this has been helpful. I was wanting to see some new ideas. I've got enough extra materials to try a few different things.

Thanks y'all.
