The hood is removable, and I used it at daycare without the hood. I only used it during indoor daycare, so I barely used it ◡̈ I think it's in very good condition. Since it was used by a child, please purchase it if you understand that it's used. I will fold it compactly and ship it. #Uniqlo #KidsClothes #WinterClothes #Outerwear #Jumper #Coat #UniqloBaby #LightWarmPaddedWashableFullZipParka
