I had the non-hooded version, and exchanged it for the hooded version because I found I needed the hood. For me, it turned out to be a mistake: it seems as if the "fill weight" didn't change, even though a hood was added. In other words, the hooded version was less "puffy"; in fact, the hood had very little down in it. Don't know if this manufacturer's specification, or just my impression, but overall, this jacket wasn't as insulating as the non-hooded version. I'm really sorry I got a "lemon", because I love Marmot jackets -- this one just didn't work.
