I purchased this and wore it for one season, then stored it in the closet. Since I didn't wear it very often, I think it's still in good condition. The hood is removable. The hood is also included. As you can see in the photos, I carefully cut off the tag where my name was written. I look forward to your purchase if you understand. I will compress it for shipping. #THE NORTH FACE #110cm #Compact Nomad Jacket
