Boss Dearest and I each use the vest with an Ulysses logo, great vest, easy to pack or wear under your riding jacket

Cheers

Voted  :thumbs - Don't know if your supplier may have such an item, but Chris has a work Jacket that is a soft shell outside and polar fleece in side that the sleeves zip off. Best of both worlds in one garment.

An option perhaps ?? just checked his jacket is made by Mountain Design.

I voted vest as it is flexible for keeping the core warm and separately dealing with the arms in jackets. Happy with either really.

I voted for the jacket, but if you got one with zippered sleeves as Jean suggested it could either be a vest or jacket  :thumbsup

I have explored the zippered sleeve jacket option, and it is not cost effective to do, as we would have to buy them in bulk....

Pardon a dumb  question, but how do you buy in the current shirts, if not in bulk?

Through my business, we buy them as people order them, that why the club does not need to shell out big dollars for gear, with our current suppliers we have negotiated buying arrangements, that means we don't have to buy in bulk, but we get bulk buy prices  :thumb

The problem with living in Northern Australia is we really don't have winters to speak of. However, when we head down south the cold bites a little harder for us from the north.

So for the north the vest would be good and to have the jacket for southern rides would also be very handy.

I'm a 'hot bod', meaning I sweat very easily. I'd spend most time in a vest, but incredibly, I love the times I can wear one of the dozen different jackets I have. (fetish?? - Nah, just passion)

I'm wearing Ugg boots for the second time in my life.

Having both is a good plan,'coz ya never, never know. Sean's got a good point though, vest under jacket is a bonus for coldies 'n oldies.

I like vest or jacket. Each have merit. Vest would probably be a bit more versatile.
