Just a suggestion: saddlers.

Here is one example:. Not cheap, but this stuff is made to last and be used in all weather.

Dover Saddlery has a bunch of unisex jackets as well. You need
to navigate the page: www.doversaddlery.com (search on jackets)

No, I don't think so. But the pics of the girl in the boots and riding pants with the little hat is kind of hot. Thanks.

It's waterproof and that is it, no liner. I personally like jackets w/ zip out liners or none at all. With a stitch in liner they are either hotter than hell when it gets above 40 or not worth a shit if it gets below freezing.

I'm going to try the LL Bean thing with the SPEAR fleece. I like the idea of a quick pullover with no liner for the rain as well. That SPEAR thing should more than handle the cold.

I'll wait for the Goretex for later. I like it as well.

Thanks Polar.

Thanks everybody for your ideas. The feedback is greatly appreciated. Boss, if you get out around Colorado in your travels and a 10th Group guy happens to leave his Goretex out...

I know this is lame, but I live in NE Ohio, and this thread was a great help for me since I haven't bought a warm winter jacket in 10 years. 6 months from now I don't want to walk into a store unprepared. Good stuff.

You just never know what you're going to learn here.

NDD...Here is hoping you keep warm.

(Hijack over.)

Why is it lame? There are guys here like the 10th Group guys that are experts on this stuff, not to mention the research done by the gearmasters and the experiences of the Reaper. I am not a cold weather expert and apparently neither are you. Lame is not going to the SMEs to get an answer to a question.

Hoping I keep warm is more lame than learning about jackets from a thread. LOL

Lame is living in NE Ohio and never bothering to find a "jacket" that kept me warm. I bought a 'cool' leather jacket 2 years ago that made me look cool, but I froze my ass off.

Lame is living here all my life and never bothering to find warm clothing.

Smart is disregarding the "nerd" factor that warm weather jackets use to have and actually making a purchase.

I am done being "cool" and am finally OK with being warm. Maybe that is because I have a hot women now and do not need to freeze my but off going to taverns.

That is not lame. But point is taken NDD.

(I still feel the need to be cool, though.)

Well, don't I feel like a jackass. I know your SOTB, so keeping warm should not be an issue.

But didn't you ask about warm weather gear? Hmm, maybe it gets cold when you leave town. Hey, what do I know. LOL.

If rain, no fleece. Go with a soft shell.
