Products
Currently we sell 1 (one) product - the 5-in-1 Fleece Hood - in 3 versions...The Capuche 2000 (Solid Colors)..Camouflage (hunting patterns)..and the SURVIVOR, designed for EXTREME Conditions.
All are cut with the same pattern and are technically the same size. Different fleece materials, though, have different amounts of give, or stretch, and the hoods are hand sewn. The differences are going to be minimal and unimportant in most situations.
We do not currently have a "Children's size". The one size works well down to a 7 or 8 year-old, average-sized child. Parents and adults need to remember to tuck the cord away so that the wearer doesn't catch the cord on something.
If the head to be fit is on the small or large side, you might want to discuss your purchase with Jeff or Dan first. (see our contact information below)
The Survivor
is The RAIN PROOF and WIND PROOF Version of the Capuche 2000. The Survivor is the same design and functionality as the Capuche 2000, but made of a Laminated Fleece that keeps out the wind and rain while still allowing the material to breath for your comfort. This makes the Survivor an extremely warm hood that can protect you in EXTREME weather conditions.
Though the idea of wind proof & rain proof is attractive at any temperature, you must remember that whatever keeps the wind & rain out is also going to keep a lot of energy in. The Survivor is for HIGH WINDS & VERY COLD Temperatures. The Survivor is useful in temperatures well below -15°F or -26°C, the range of the Capuche 2000 with many reports of it being used in the negative 40°F to negative 60°F range.
The portion of the hat that one uses for a face mask is made from non-laminated fleece for easier breathing.
You will be amazed at how well the Capuche 2000 ( the standard hood) will protect you from wind, rain, snow & cold. Remember, too that YOU CAN ADD to the protection you get from the 2000 by adding layers. Using a ball cap or stocking cap along with the 2000 works well. And the Capuche works well, too, as insulation inside a hood on your jacket.
But if you are in EXTREME CONDITIONS on a regular basis ( either wind, or cold) the SURVIVOR is a wonderful thing.
There are several materials that can be used as the barrier in the Survivor. Vapex is one such product and the diagram above gives a general idea of how these barriers workPricing
