Warm Jacket Recommendation - pit zips, slim, etc - 01/26/08 01:13 AM
Can anyone recommend me a fleece or insulated jacket to replace the one that I recently lost?
Things I want in it:
1. Slim fit, including slim collar
2. Longish torso because I bike and leaning over the handlebars means my lower back is exposed with jackets with short torsos.
3. Pit zips: I use these all the time.
4. Hand warmer pockets.
5. Chest pocket(s)
6. Internal pocket(s), hopefully deep enough to fit a standard sheet of paper
7. Midweight or Heavyweight
The closest I've been able to find is the Mountain Hardwear Offwidth: http://www.backcountry.com/store/MHW0482/Mountain-Hardwear-Offwidth-Primaloft-Jacket-Mens.html
Kinda expensive to me though.
