How big is the hood on the Dragon?I tried the hooded Synchro on the other day and although I loved the jacket, I thought the hood was way too big for non helmeted wear. Is the Dragon a bit more form fitting or more adjustable? Is it too big if you're not wearing a hat or with just a baseball cap?

The hood is huge, and definitely designed to fit over a helmet, but here is the thing. It tightens down (with one hand) and fits great even if you don't have a helmet on! They have this great multicord cinch system that not only takes up the room but snugs it down over your ears like ear warmers. I wish my Mt Hardwear Xenon Jacket had this same feature as it only has a single cord that doesn't quite keep the brim out of my eyes.
