I tried on the Cipher Windstopper jacket and it felt perfect, particularly the way the material stretched but I don't want a hood. Is the Zot essentially the same jacket but without a hood? If not, what is the best non-hood alternative to the Cipher?

Yes...for the most part. The Zot is essentially a hood-less version of the Cipher but they are still just a little different. The Zot has Windstopper in the front, on top of the arms, and along the upper back areas and Apex Aerobic fabric under the arms and throughout all of the mid and lower back. The Cipher is similar but includes sections of Windstopper in the mid and lower back.
