For example, I know for a fact that there have been Nationals held in WI. Being from that area, I know that it's not uncommon to have it cold enough to snow in August or September. A bit odd, yes, but it does happen. Hell, in July of 2004, it didn't get above 60 for the entire week that I was there.

Just a hint from ASA would be nice, you know?

ASA DID have winter/foul weather gear, but discontinued the line this year due to lack of sales.

Then perhaps they should put something in 10-5?

A jock strap or cup isn't included in 10.5 either, but people still wear them. Then again, if you aren't smart enough to wear them, shame on you. If you live in a cold weather region, you probably have cold weather undergarments and, if you aren't smart enough to wear them.....

BTW, the gear of which I am speaking was a navy jacket with an ASA logo over the left chest.
