The hood is detachable. It can also be used as a vest, so you can wear it as a vest when exercising, etc., and I think you can use it for a long time. There is blackening on the cuffs and stains inside the zipper, but it has been cleaned and I think you can still use it. Please purchase only if you understand that it is a used item. It will be simply packaged and shipped folded small. Color...Pink Pattern/Design...Solid Hood...Hooded (Detachable) Season...Winter
