Title: First Lite Chama- hood or no hood? 230g or 330g?
Post by: Eric M on July 22, 2016, 08:24:31 PM: These look pretty comfortable. Wondering if I should get the hood kind. And the 330g says heavyweight but has no hood. It's hard to be specific but I'm looking for a go to "sweater" for when it isn't raining. Thanks.

Depending on when you would be wearing it would help determine whether to get a hood or not, also if you're a hood person or not. I'm generally not so it's usually down. If the hood isn't up the collar tends to fold over so you will lose some neck coverage. Very happy with them though! I think you will be happy either way.
