jackets?

I voted "either", but would prefer the podium jacket. We also committed to buying two.

here's the windblock jacket--you can see the pocket-baggy-thing on the profile pic.

do we know why the listing states that there should be two pockets at the front?

the podium jacket has pockets at the front, the windblock doesn't

(description from internet listing)

The Podium Jacket provides medium thermal and wind protection for transitional seasons and climates Firewall 120 provides ultra light, supple true windproof protection • Raglan sleeves • 2 comfortable front zip pockets • Comfortable fitting thermal cuffs

The windblock Jacket provides sublimated light wind and rain protection - Firewall 100 offers a comfortable balance between water resistance and breathability • Well positioned underarm mesh vents for ventilation and seam reduction • Lightweight and packable

the hip measurement for the Medium is 39 inches relaxed, with about 1.5 inches of stretch.

Not a big fan of jackets that only have back pockets especially with elastic tops so I'm on the fence on this one. The description of the podium jacket on the website says it has front pockets. Did they lie?

ah - this is what confused me.

carry on.

Does anyone know upsizing. Like, if the medium has a 39" waist do they add 1 or 2 inches to the large, then another 1-2" to the xl?

Now that i see it on Holly, I like the fit/style of the windblock for running, but I HATE the back pocket, but there have to be pockets. So I'm on the fence and need to think about it some more. Do I want to spend nearly $100 on a jacket I would only wear cycling when I haven't been cycling all that much since moving here?

Holly, what's your deadline for making the decision to order or not?

I personally don't have a deadline. If we get the minimum number (or close) to agree on a jacket, then we'll look at design and go from there.

Sorry guys. I think that I'm out for the jacket order. I already have a shell and can't spend the money on a more casual jacket like the Podium since I already have a lot of other coats that would serve the same purpose. I was hoping to buy a slightly more insulated jacket to run in this winter. Good luck getting the minimum order.

Don't get the red one
