Once upon a time, I had a really useful foldable IFR hood. It was made out of some sort of stiffened - but still pretty thin - laminated green cardboard material, had Jeppesen printed on it (IIRC) and folded flat into thirds. It had a thin elastic band on it, to go around the back of your head, and when you opened it up, it made a perfectly suitable IFR Hood. It actually fit (was designed to fit, I believe) inside the back flap of a leather Jepp binder ........ some of you Old Folk like me will remember Jepps, and those seemingly endless paper revisions....... Anyway, it was a very handy, flat, little hood, and would take up very little space in a modern flight bag/kit. Alas, my Jepps have long been retired in favor of ForeFlight, and my great little foldable green Jepp IFR hood is nowhere to be found. I have searched the internet for something like this, with negative results.
Do any of you guys remember this type of hood? Anyone know where I can get something similar?
