You have to be kidding, stripes and no full zippers!
Sorry but a lot of people do not like pullovers.
Also why don't they make a light jacket?

I agree. I do not like pullovers and I do not wear one unless it is really cold and windy.

I like a zipper because temperatures change, inside and outside of the jacket and pullovers make little, if any, allowance to adjust.

They do make a light jacket. It's on the same page.

Unfortunately, it's too light to be of any use when it gets down to 35° with 20 MPH winds. Those other jackets aren't worth a darn.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

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

I liked the full fleece lined satin zippered jackets.........you had to hand wash them, but they were the best. I gave mine to a rookie several years back and replaced it with the poly lined jacket. It fit me better, but I missed the old look and feel. And yes.....I still have a few Elbecos in the closet. I can wear the poly lined jacket over all my gear where I had unfortunately outgrew my old satin..........

Thats why I gave it up......but it was a good sporty windbreaker I could wear in an area where I don't need a ton of jackets.........

I never did buy the pullover.......but Scott's temperatures are much colder than we fare here.
