Been eyeing these for a while… finally pulled the trigger. I’m saying this without actually using them on an outing but these sleeves rock! I was hesitant thinking they were slightly goofy looking but those fears were unfounded. I got the “long” size and they fit perfect and compliment my vest well. Now for the hood… yes it is a little goofy looking but has a ton of loft in it and feels fantastic against the skin. It has a velcro like strip that can be attached to a matting piece that you’d sew onto your collar but I won’t be doing that. It does have a snap in front so even if you don’t have the hood on over your head it stays on as if it’s attached to your coat. What’s great about both these pieces is that they are light, highly packable and since their down, can be used for any number of uses to stay warm weather in the hammock or on the trail.
