Worth mentioning also that the Estela hood (and men's version Pegasus) was designed to fit over a low profile climbing type helmet (but not a full blown ski helmet). We're all climbers and skiers on the apparel development team so everything we do gets put through the climber/skimo acid test as far as technical design elements as this go. Hope this helps.

I just asked Lisa her take (she's not at her computer). She says she didn't feel it at all. It must have fit in once of the voids inside the helmet or something.
