Simon Davey Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) I'm not in the prime of youth, and I'd probably look like a right plonka, but I quite fancy a hoodie jacket.  Some have removable hoods, but I'm wondering if they catch the wind and act like a parachute? Edited April 8 by Simon Davey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideWithStyles Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 well thats one way to kill off a trend when oldies wear it! lol. sorta do but sort of not? depends on its fit and how big is the hood? how tight it is around the neck, how big is the helmet?  if it has a large hood, you have a thin neck and small helmet it has all the potential to be a sail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe85 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I bought a couple of Spada hoodies from SBS when they were on sale a few weeks back. I really like them, and no, the hood doesn't act like a sail. (And that's on a naked!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Davey Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 Thanks @Joe85 I don't imagine they're very protective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideWithStyles Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 you can get protected ones (abrasive liner and pads). richa and a lot of the french brands do it as it still popular over there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Bad news I'm afraid. I am currently wearing a hoodie so the are definitely not cool anymore.  Not on a bike though.  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie man Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I have a Richa Hoodie, for the casual look when worn with denim jeans while at work. The hood doesn't act like a sail. The hood is detachable and doesn't look like motorcycle wear.  2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
