ABSTRACT:
An adjustable hood system including a pair of drawstrings extending from the two temple areas of the wearer to the area corresponding to the nape of the neck. The drawstrings provide both vertical and lateral adjustability around the head of the wearer to allow the wearer to customize the fit of the hood, regardless of the size of the wearer's head or the amount of layers of headgear under the hood. The drawstrings are contained by a single cordlock so that the desired fit is achieved and maintained around the wearer's head with one simple operation of the drawstrings.
