Does anyone yet have any experience with the 2017 Storm Racer from Patagonia? On paper it looks nice: 3 layer, tricot backer; helmet hood; stretchy; full length Vislon main zip; slim fit; 6 oz; $249.

Where are you getting the idea that it's a helmet compatible hood?

I personally prefer the hood of my shell to go under my helmet, if I'm gonna be wearing it for a while. I feel like under-helmet hoods on shells typically turn better with the head, keep the brim closer to my eyes affording better protection, and the helmet protects the hood from abrasion. Regardless, the site shows it being worn with a huge mountain biking helmet, slightly unzipped. But whatever

Any updates on this one? Looks like it could be a nice piece, especially for cooler/wetter trail runs. 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
