I have only worn this a few times in the rain, but it worked well. I do wish that there was a better way of attaching the hood as the velcro often comes undone. I may modify.

It's gigantic; it fits my Showers Pass Elite 2.1 Jacket; actually, it's MADE to fit that and some other SP jackets; it fits over my helmet when in use; it's very well made; it's got a drawstring to snug it up, which works well. The black was sold out, so I got the green: it's ugly as hell. It's highly visible, too.

A few years ago when I bought my Elite Showers Pass jacket, I ordered the hood with it, not realizing they came in different sizes. I have a large head and the regular size was not suited for me. When I discovered that I could order a L/XL size I immediately ordered one from Bike TiresDirect. It is the perfect addition to my much loved Showers Pass Elite!!!

This hood is well made and attaches perfectly to my Showers Pass jacket. It also fits perfectly and keeps me dry. The small visor helps to keep the rain out of your eyes. I like this versatile piece, because I can detach it when I don't need it. It is a bit pricy for just a hood, but for my purposes well worth it. I'm a rower and don't always want or need the full rain protection, but at times it's great to have this hood to keep you warm.

When I toured across America in the winter of 2016 I relied heavily on my Showers Pass Rain Jacket, Hood and Pants. I modified the one size fits all hood to accommodate my head which was covered most of the time with a polar tech balaclava an helmet. Recently I noticed a a largexlarge Rain Hood was available. Anyway this larger hood easily covers my head,balaclava and helmet no problem no modifying needed. One more thing. Regardless of the weather being rain or cold or both I mostly lived in that Rain jacket throughout the entire trip. Thank you Showers Pass.

I haven't worn it in pouring rain yet so not sure but seems that it will work well for a heavy all day rain
Review by kcdegutes
I wanted to turn my Showers Pass jacket into an all purpose jacket, so I bought this hood which is huge unless you're wearing a helmet. It's also incredibly noisy with that fresh Goretex sound. But it keeps me dry. I'd give it five stars if it weren't so large and loud.

It's very functional, etc. Does everything a rainproof hood should do. My only complaint is that it seems titchy of Showers Pass to sell the hood separately.
