a hood should have enough room for another knit or woven hood underneath, it should hold structure both on and off the head, it shouldn't be so big that it's floppy, and if it's a scuba hood it should have enough allowance for my big head and more importantly it shouldn't have two flaps that are buttoned in the middle under your chin
field brims, ornamentation, extra collars, triangle stitching for structure and adjustment features on the back are all plusses
