Advantages? Cost is hard to beat, works very well and when you warm up, it is easy to pull out, fold up and stuff in your pocket while riding. Also you get to look like a pro. (Yes, they still do it. Not the big names. They get the sponsored jackets handed up to them, but their hard working teammates cresting the mountain minutes later with no team support (and no TV cameras) still pull out their newspaper and stuff their jerseys. It works, well.
