The snood is on the Fall 2009 runways. Designer houses such as Burberry, Missoni, Donna Karan and Hermès are using this accessory with wonderful flare! The snood (which is an archaic word for some sort of headgear) is really a tubular scarf.
As for some of these snoods, like the Missoni ones, you can easily use them as hoods. The snoods are probably quite warm but if you have a very neat hairsprayed coiffure, you might pick and choose when you would want to wear the snood. It is difficult to be elegant and put on or take off these things! Of course, if you are going on a ski trip, sure! On the other hand, if you have long beautiful tousled hair where you can non-chalantly flip your tresses over the snood, then by all means! Very romantic gesture!!
Also, you gentlemen can fashion a snood. For example, Burberry's male models sported the snood in the Fall 2009 RTW collection (see picture below). They look quite handsome with the accessory! Not sure if the hair problem applies to you though!
Here are some examples of these snoods.
