The 'non-Siphon Wool Hooded Jacket' is basically last season's version of the current Siphon Wool Hooded Jacket. That said, there are some differences in the jackets, mainly concerning the weight of the fabric.The non-Siphon was cut from some pretty burly fabric, i.e. heavy-weight wool blend shell fabric and brushed fleece lining. According to several customers, this made the jacket a little too warm and bulky.The current Siphon Wool Hooded Jacket uses a lighter-weight wool blend fabric shell with a grid-fleece lining, which gives the jacket a lighter, less-restricting feel. The Siphon Wool Hooded Jacket still provides the warmth and style you need, but just a little less burly than last season's non-Siphon.
