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:

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.
