Hood is detachable. It's reversible. The material is a bit "swishy," so it's easy to brush off sand and pollen. I'm selling it because my child has outgrown it and I'm decluttering. It shows signs of use, but it's still in good condition. Above all, the design is lovely, and it looks adorable when worn. Would be great for playing outside or as a change of clothes at nursery/kindergarten. If there's a name written on it, I will cut off the tag before sending. This is a used item, so I hope to sell it to someone who understands that. *I have inspected the item, but as I am not a professional, there may be oversights. Please understand this before purchasing. #AEON
