I ride my bike year-round in a city known for its harsh winters and soggy springs. My first question is does this shell come with a helmet compatible hood? Second- will it hold up to high winds and 40 below wind chills if layered with a fleece? I had another Arc'teryx jacket that did the job but unfortunately needs to be replaced quickly at a lower cost.

the hood on this will fit most helmets, but some bulkier bike helmets may compromise the coverage. As far as weather protection, it will work great for those conditions (check the delta sv for max warmth/breathability) I would suggest looking at the Alpha SL, because it has pit-zips (key for high-output activities), and a storm hood that will work better with bulkier helmets, and is only $50 more. http://www.backcountry.com/store/ARC0613/Arcteryx-Alpha-SL-Jacket-Womens.html
