That's why I'd suggest something that has a hood, but isn't called a
hoodie. The latter seem to be fashion items rather than functional - at
least in the ones I've seen in stores and online. I doubt that the
hoodies have any way to batten down the hood when not in use, but could
be tucked down your back if that's an issue. The hoods that zip in
collars generally don't protect the neck and lower face as well as a
good hood either.
Well, let's back up a bit. The original problem is keeping
his head warm. He's got a solution (toque) but it's
imperfect in that he keeps losing them. I don't think a
typical hood on a rain/wind shell, stowable or not, is going
to do much good keeping his ears warm. I guess I would tend
towards one of those fleece hats with a string although the
ones I'm familiar with would be uncomfortably warm, I think,
for temperatures above the low 20s. Another option would be
a hat that fits better, or maybe one with a cordlock around
the head, although again the ones I'm familiar with that do
that would be much too hot.
