Or... lightly put, door screening and foam to prevent moisture from entering the hood. I think there should be some sort of replaceable or cleanable add-on that could prevent such an incident... and seriously, I doubt the company actually went through much trouble to mfr a hood so snow or rain could enter.
Maybe the internals are angled so if water were to go 'in' then it would pour back out, but that would defeat the purpose of a 'ram air' style hood as the air way won't be a straight through design. I'd like to see the exact design of the hood if I were purchasing it.
