Look around local and internet stores and see what fits the personal needs you have in mind.

Read the information others have posted in your multple threads spread across the forum that asks about the same subject matter.

How about keeping it to one thread / topic instead of the three that you have created about jackets alone in this forum?????

Dude the idea is for you to go to the jacket manufactures websites and check their product out. They show pictures and explain the options better than anybody here (with the exception of Hogboy) can.

O.K. The other threads are gone. Keeping it down to one should help you get info that you are looking for.
