Answering a couple questions:
The hoods are the same. They are unique in that Teresa and Fred designed them to fit over a Fedora style hat. Little known secret...Fred had Teresa re-sew the hood 9 times before they decided it was "just right". I love the oversized hood, and I rarely wear a brimmed hat in the woods. I like being able to slowly move my head side to side INSIDE THE HOOD with little to no movement of the hood itself.
The wool weight on this is somewhere in the "medium" range. Not as thick as my grey blanket weight Anorak, but thicker than lightweight.
