How large is the hood? Is it big enough to fit a helmet underneath?

The older version of this jacket (2009 model, I believe) had a huge and floppy hood with no adjustment cords...so it always just flopped around unless it was pulled over a helmet. The new version has a smaller, articulated hood...you can pull some drawstrings tight and the hood will move with your head, instead of your head rotating IN you hood. In my opinion, this is the single biggest improvement on this newer version over the older version. I wear the hood under the helmet sometimes. Whatever pops your cork, I suppose, but I LOVE the newer version of this jacket. I guess the happy medium would have been the same big hood but with 2 adjustment points ala Arc T... My .02

No, it's not. IMHO this is the biggest downside of the Compressor jacket and the reason I don't own one today. You can stretch and pull the hood over a helmet but it's not comfortable in any way.
