I don't think that a jacket should be described as a belay jacket if it has an "under helmet hood". It might be a great jacket in all other ways, but if you can't pull the hood over your lid (or even worse - it encourages you to take your helmet off whilst on a route) it's simply not a 'proper' belay jacket.

I kind of agree, but what about for sport or trad summer routes where people often don't wear helmets and want a warm jacket for putting on at belays? It's a bit too thin to be a winter belay jacket anyway.

A double zip would add to its functionality as a belay jacket.
