A couple of years ago I made the Liberty Ridge wind shirt/jacket fro Thru-Hiker. I have really liked it and gotten a lot of use out of it. My only regret was it did not have a hood. I considered adding one, it would be easy enough. but then I saw AYCE has this new material Pertex Quantum which is a breathable waterproof fabric. The other is water resistant and wets out after about 15 minutes of rain. This time I made a hood pattern from another jacket I have and sewed the hood on in place of the collar. The finished jacket weighs in at 3.3 oz. Now to field test it.
