Thank you Paddy. I really want to touch one and check quality and fit before I order. Price may be a problem because the ID eVent pullover is $190 and the Thru-hiker jacket is $240. I would expect a hooded pullover to come in somewhere between those prices.

My strong preference for backcountry use is a pullover. I prefer a jacket for around town use.

I like the idea that Patagucci,etc. has some high end competition, but the price needs to be competitive.
