SpiritHoods are back! At Coachella this year these fuzzy animal-themed head gears resembling furs (but not!) have returned with a vengeance; one's instinct remains, as always, to mock them, but this year, with heavy winds and thick drops of cold rain coming down, they actually serve a function. But staying warm was just one of many reasons Coachella attendees gave for wearing their SpiritHoods. Behold.

5. "It looks cool"
This guy was not wearing a bona fide SpiritHood, but we still give him an "A" for effort. "I don't know what it is but I am wearing it. It was the 'pickup downtown before you leave' special'" he says. Jack, a USC student, was going for style points. "It is just an awesome thing to wear at concerts like these," he says, adding that they are comfy and they look cool.

4. "It speaks to my soul"
Not only do SpiritHoods define who you are as a person, apparently, but they define who you are as an animal. "It is an extension of yourself," Sarah from Orange County told us. "It's fun to have one that you think represents you. I am wearing the cheetah, which means intelligent, independent, and likes to socialize. I am very independent."

Dear Sarah from OC, they don't make a Cheetah hood. You're wearing the Leopard which carries the traits of intelligence, free spirited, and leader. Get your information straight before you speak to any form of media.

This is all you got to report? Is coachella really this boring in 2012. Pick up a book and Learn some native American history, and how those kids ancestors annihilated the entire civilization behind the "spirit hood"...jerks
