+1. No problems with using a hood for me either. When it's really pouring, it's quite nice to have the nape of the neck covered.
I also have a helmet cover, which is fine for lighter, cold rains, and a long-billed, low crown, lightweight nylon runners cap, which also works well under the helmet for warmer, summer rains.
