The only times I put the hood up on mine is if my hair is wet (like I just showered) and it's cold in the room. My H will put his hood up quite often, but he's cold all the time.

The only times I generally use hoods are on raincoats if I don't have an umbrella. And I have trouble seeing out of those, too, where if makes me nervous if I'm crossing a parking lot, say.

Dr. T did not put the hood up.
