Great article... I'm not big on the 3/4 length jackets as they have a tendency to bind up at the waist. First gear makes a good product but I agree with the article in that any weather resistant jacket must have an inner flap to seal out things like water, wind and other elements. To me, things like pre-curved limbs, adjustable arm and waist bands, vents, armor all around and pockets are all important. I like heavy duty zippers too. Thanks for sharing...
