I don't like hoods that block my vision when I'm trying to scan behind me. I haven't tried it, but I think the Grundens rain hat would not block your vision.
If you wear a helmet (and maybe you want to if you are mixing it up with SUV's in the rain) I like this one: https://www.taigaworks.ca/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=66 It fits over you helmet, doesn't block you vision, and even has a loop to attach your red light. I attach my take-a-look mirror to my helmet and the taiga doesn't interfere with it. I don't always bike with a helmet, mirror, and red light on my head. But if it is dark and rainy in heavy traffic...it is time to pull out all the stops.
