Well my jacket is last years model, but it has a large velcro tab that is designed to hold the hood if it is rolled down. I never use it, but that is what it was meant to be used for.

No, but I find that stowable hoods are super annoying, and the nice thing about the hood design is that it's integrated with the collar, ie it's all one piece, not sewn on. I like that better because when you have it drawn up and fully zipped, it'll cover your face/chin better. A good way to keep the hood dry inside during rain is to just let it hang behind, but sinch up the main hood drawcords(not the one that draws the side back, but the one that would pull it down tight around your face. This basically 'closes' up the hood when you're not wearing it and keeps water from getting inside the hood or down your back. But if it's raining I guess you'd have the hood up anyways. What I described is handy in snow as well.

There is not a way to stow this hood. Great jacket for when its coming down though. The poncho style venting is a great feature to keep you cool and still stay dry.
