I have a very thin Afflication hoodie i almost always jump in when its chilly because its not bulky and easily goes under layers. I just make sure whoever i am jumping with rolls up the hood and tucks it tightly inside the actual shirt so there is no chance of entanglement. I dont know if that is even possible but i would prefer not to be the first person to find out.

Jumping a base hoodie could have other consequences as well if you are stopped by LEO on the way to or from an object.

I wear a hoodie frequently. I usually roll the hood down, and pull up my sleeves.

Ah, very valid point. Even if its 10 degrees i roll my sleeves up. That stupid Pikey has me wigging out that the bridal could snag my arm and i wouldn't feel it.

I never roll up my sleeves. You'll know if you throw the bridle under your arm. If it has snag points, like armor, you really should have the sleeves down anyway.

I jump in hoodies all the time and never bother tucking it in. I let that bitch flap in the wind and never had a prob to date.

PuSSiEs BIG!

If you put the hood under the helmet, does it stop your hat from getting dirt on it???Sly

I roll and tuck the hood...... when I remember. I only worry about all the loose fabric flapping around by my PC and try to tuck it into my harness.
