Bringing this idea back to the forefront of my mind.
A lot of us with climbing experience use belay parkas as a warm overgarment, sized to fit over everything.
Reading my last sales email from PHD in the UK I'm wondering why more of us do not use a hooded vest in the same way. I think PHD mat be the only company tht is making and offering this type of over the top garment but it makes perfet sense to me

But I would want one as long as the leather "commando" vests so a DIY/MYOG would suit me better. vests are also much easier to sew and easier to wear over your raincoat/storm parka.
The main difference between this idea and the "Commando" vest is really the attached hood
A good week-end project not that I need any more projects
This is one garment that would really benefit from being highly water resistant if not waterproof
