Quick update about the hood extension idea. I got some samples from quest the other day, including some two sided cuben tape and some of the iron on seam sealing tape. I tried the two sided cuben tape, and it didn't stick to the frogg toggs material well at all. The material was too fuzzy so the tape just didn't get a good grip, similar to trying to stick tape to something thats dirty. I haven't tested to see if the material can handle the temps required for setting the iron on seam tape, but I'll get to that soon.
