however, the upside is that i like the jacket enough that when i have 400 to spend on a jacket, i'll gladly spend it on that jacket. it's so beautiful.
My 60.00 REI jacket is identical sans inner lining, but I wear a winter compression layer under it and I bet its the very close to the same, which I got from Target for 15.00- Champion Duo-Dri brand, which is awesome riding clothes btw.
I'm sure it's a really nice jacket, but not for the price.
