Stay dry in backcountry tempests with the waterproof breathable Mountain Hardwear Women's Typhoon Jacket. Mountain Hardwear laminated this exceptionally lightweight rain shell with Gore-Tex Paclite Shell and micro-taped the seams to seal out the storm. Pull up the brimmed hood to prevent rain from pouring down your face and keep hiking. Articulated sleeves allow you to adjust your pack and tie your shoelaces without arm restraint. Unzip underarm vents to let out body heat as you move swiftly up the trail toward the summit.
Bottom Line: When rain threatens in the mountains, take the waterproof breathable Mountain Hardwear Typhoon Jacket out of your pack.
Hi. I am wondering if the hood zips into the collar, or zips off. Also, do the sizes run true to size, big or small? I am borderlining the small/medium in the sizing chart.
Lauren. The hood neither rolls into the collar or zips off. It rolls up and then is secured by the flap you can see in the picture in the hood. This flap, when not in use, sits flat inside the hood and is held there by velcro. It is a good and lightweight system to secure the hood. Cheers!
The bottom line: the zippered pocket openings aren't wide enough to accommodate my bird book easily. It's also shorter than I expected, falling 3-4 inches below my waist. As the product description states, it is very lightweight, allows for easy arm movement, and has a hood that keeps water out of your face. It doesn't work for me but I recommend that others take a look.

Just got back from a 2 week camping trip in the Nantahala Forest, NC and Cade's Cove, TN. It rained plenty; but I was prepared with this fantastic new coat! It fit the bill and the hood stays put, just the way I like it!
Had a serious malfunction with this jacket. Awesome if you travel with it folded perfectly... not so awesome if you stuff it in the stashpocket. My friend had no issues with her jacket while backpacking through a VERY wet Ireland (she laid it out and folded it perfectly like a fragile cashmere sweater). I stuffed mine in the enclosed pocket and had a wet face and rain in my eyes constantly. No matter how hard i tried to straighten out the bill, it was a doomed venture. That sucker got bent and did NOT want to straighten out again. Kinda defeats a lot of the purpose if you ask me. Going to try to straighten the bill by heating it up with a blowdryer? I dunno - grasping straws here. When not having bill issues - Great rain protection and fit true to size. Seemed to breathe well enough and vents well. Just don't stuff the jacket or you'll be sorry... sorry and wet. (Got my jacket a few years ago, she got hers last year. I suppose there could be design differences - but when touching/comparing there were no significant differences between the two. Never had any problems with this jacket - but this is also the first time I've stuffed the jacket for any lengthy period of time).
