Sweatshirt Hood Problems

So I love skiing in my hoodies and vest but I always have the hood fly up in my face while spinning jumps. Im sure the NS community has had this problem themselves. I usually just tuck the hood into the sweatshirt itself so then its not out, but It looks fucking retarded. I want to figure a good way to fix my problem obviously, any ideas? I would just sow the hood to the back but I like wearing them with the hoods occasionally. I was thinking about putting two magnets in it, one in the hood and another in the upper back area. Anyone try this? Thanks NS and +K to productive answers.

a tiny strip of dual lock works as well

on my flylow puff the hood kept catching wind and strangling me when i went fast so i bound it down a little with some dual lock

that's what i like about oakley hoods with the magnet in them

^^^that. velco is the shit. actually sew it on though because if you only use the sticky on fabric it will come off, right away or eventually but it will. also, first drop has like a magnetic thing in their hoods so they stay down, not really important for your situation, but relevant

Was gonna do the Velcro but my fear is that the Velcro will get dirty and then not stick as well and eventully stop sticking.

take a few saftey pins and put them through the hood and back of the sweatshirt so it stays in place, and you dont have to ruin the hood with velcro and look like a retard it your ever wear your hood up in public

Well my fear is since this is for my ignant vest which isnt a traditional cotten/polyester like other and the material would rip easyer. Well Im gonna give the magnets and velcro a try and post the results so if anyone else wants to try they have an idea.
