Can the hood be removed?

Is this jacket suitable for very cold temperatures?

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash at 40°C with mild liquid detergent and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning to preserve its waterproof and insulating properties.
What does 'waterproof with taped seams' mean?
This indicates that not only is the fabric waterproof, but the stitching seams are also sealed with tape to prevent water from penetrating through the needle holes.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less waterproof over time.
Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the outer fabric according to the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap. Apply a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth.
Jacket is not warm enough.
Ensure all drawcords and cuffs are tightened to seal out drafts. Layering additional thermal base layers underneath can increase warmth.
Reflective trim is peeling.
Avoid high heat drying and harsh detergents. If minor peeling occurs, carefully iron over a protective cloth on a low setting, but extensive damage may require professional repair.
