ASAJiffyhood

Great for IFR training under simulated instrument condition (under the hood). The band is tight around the head so it is very sturdy and it does not move around. There are 3 different positions to adjust the headband. Very satisfied with the purchase and will recommend to friends going for IFR rating.

Much better and more comfortable than the foogles. The plastic can get brittle from time to time and will snap in bent in the wrong way.

Have tried foggles, including foggles that include "correction" (reading glasses for near correction), but they never worked quite right for me. My Rx sunglasses have prescription for bottom (nearby - the instrument panel and my iPad) and no correction on top). Using this traditional hood (like I used when I got my PPL in the 90s) works really well with the sunglasses and also with regular reading glasses I use at night. Strongly recommended.

I really like this hood for IFR training (simulated instrument conditions). I prefer this over foggles for a few reasons: 1. I wear glasses and this is much easier to use with glasses then foggles.2. This is much better to use during the daytime especially when the sun is low in the sky where if you turn toward the sun, the foggles make it so bright you are essentially blinded because of the scatter of the light from the foggles. 3. I also found that in general I do not have as much potential for motion sickness with this device compared to foggles.4. It also does not interfere with the seal of noise canceling headphones like foggles since you are not putting anything over your ears to break the seal.My only real complaint with this is the size of the band. I have it at the largest size for my head and it is still a little tighter then I would like, however, it is not bad. I can wear it for 1-2 hours and it does not really cause any pain or discomfort. The other thing to keep in mind is it is not as compact as foggles so I just put the head strap around my flight bag handles and carry it on the outside of my flight back. The snaps are very secure and the hood is very durable so I have had no issues carrying it this way.I would highly recommend this for IFR training. For the limited 3 hours needed for private pilot a set of foggles is probably fine and a little more compact/convenient to carry.

as described, fast shipping, perfect for student Pilot on IFR rating certification

Exactly what I was looking for. Durable, comfortable and adjustable.

Was a good choice for my IFR class.

Just arrived and I love it! This hood provides a total block out and is very compfortable. It is better than I expected. Some reviewers complained about the fit and other stuff but I think it is great.
