I have a Sugoi Blur Vest that I absolutely love. However, I would love it even more if I could find the same vest with sleeves (in other words a jacket.) I can't find the Blur Vest at TE so I guess they don't make it anymore, and I can't find a windbreaker type jacket that I like anywhere around here. Thought maybe I could one online but it's hard if you can't see it or try it on. Do any of you have a Blur Vest, know what it's like, and can point me in the direction of a really similar type jacket with sleeves?


Thanks,
bar

What don't you like about the other jackets?

I found Sugoi Blur vest and jacket for men here:

Well I guess my problem has been that there is almost no stock of anything where I live. So far, everything I have been able to find has been too heavy. The Blur vest is really light weight, can roll up small, fits me really well, and I like the style. If I can get a jacket made more or less the same way, I'd be happy.

Thanks for the link btw!

The PI Optik jacket is a super lightweight fabric. Have you looked at that?

I want one of these (http://www.groundeffect.co.nz/product_detail.php?style=SHE&category=RAI), but I admit that that may have something to do with the playlunch money and the bat phone. :p

Jumping tadpoles Dirt Diva!!! I'm surprised that thing doesn't have a Camelbak built in!

I have a Canari cycling jacket that I love. It is lightweight enough to be stowed in the back of a jersey (although a big saddlebag is better). I have no idea where you could purchase such a thing, because my mother in law bought it for me for Christmas, but that might be another one to look for.

This one looks nice and lightweight (http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=15672), if that is your primary concern.

I just noticed that the Blur Jacket is on sale at REI. Only comes in black, S/M/L available.

I was looking at jackets this morning and there is a Hind Spare O Jacket on sale (in orange/ and pink/gray reversible). If you like those colors, it looks like a nice light weight jacket that will go in a jersey pocket easiliy. And, the best part is that it is only I think it was $29.00. They had more colors for $10.00 more

If I was looking for a light weight jacket, that is what I would buy. That is if I liked the colors.
