Speaking of the hooded vest... I ordered my shirt with no hood but with pockets because I like the option of carrying a little something or just sticking my hands in them.
Then I got a vest with a hood that fits over the shirt. (and pockets of course) Or I can wear the vest over some other shirt like a cotton flannel if it isn't too cold. Anyway, when I flip up the hood, which is big enough to go over a G. Fred Asbell style hat, I feel like I'm more hidden. It's hard to describe. It covers more of my face but since it's not tight it seems to break up my outline more.
I even ordered another set so I can combine colors to suit me.
I may have to get even more...
Good stuff! todd
