No, it's synthetic cloth.

I make almost nothing off these hoods, so I may just run this as a group pre-order.

I'll start it once I see interest in at least 5 of them. If the preorder goes through, I should be able to get both Coldgear and Heatgear ones.

Well, if you can get them in at about $30, I'd be down for one of each.
For sure a COLD gear though (I was gonna get a friend at school in W. Virginia pick it up for me).

With the HEAT gear one, is it comparable to the old coolmax ones? I remember hearing rave reviews about it (although the UA is tight where as I think the CoolMax ones were looser).

I've never worn the CoolMax one, so I couldn't say, but as far as performance goes, I generally find the UA Heatgear products to do a MUCH better job at cooling than CoolMax.

As far as fit goes, The UA one is form-fitting. If you have a weird demented shaped head with strange horns, growths and bumps on your head, you'll probably see it through the UA hood.
