What are the pros and cons for this jacket having no collar? I assume it is designed to fit a hooded layer better?

for the Arc'teryx Alpha LT hood, the pros of the storm hood (no separate collar) better coverage on your face, especially when the hood is up. It really seals up, and you can tuck in really deep when the wind and snow are howling. if you wear it in milder weather, the front part doesn't lay as flat as a collared version. The Arc'teryx Beta LT is the alternate version of this jacket with a collar and roll-hood,if you prefer that style.
