I didn't pack a jacket or anything appropriate. I now not only keep my ASA jacket hanging in the car (almost always) and always pack at least a hoodie and sweat pants wherever I go.
Just make sure you don't leave it in the car without something covering it. Those jackets fade easily.

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

Just another quality product from official gear. I just know that while outathm was up north in 65 degree weather it was overcast 85 degrees and 90% humidity and as a favor for a guy I worked a pony east zone recreational allstar tournement... so it pretty much sucked... however I did come up with the most classic line of my life to a coach ... but Ill let be a story for another time.

Yeah, well... Don't get me started on the batch that came from Pakistan...

Actually, in all fairness, just about any jacket will fade if left in the sun long enough.
