I'm dying to get this jacket but concerned that it doesn't have a hood. I'd use it primarily for back country snowboarding. Spyder has a less expensive jacket with a hood - what to do?

Their "legend" jackets are very nice and really do have features that put them on a high bar even compared to their other product lines. In my experience the great-feeling stretchable fabrics are the best feature of the higher-end jackets (I have experience with Kjus, Phenix, Spyder Legend personally). They help eliminate the "puff-ball" look on the slopes while still allowing you to hit it hard in blizzard conditions in the single digits without heading in to the chalet to warm up every half-hour. BTW-The new Chamonix is now called the SAAS FEE for 09-10 and the vest is on the inside of the jacket-but it does now come with a detachable hood. Unfortunately, it now goes for $1250 as well.
