Looking for lightweight jacket

**kelownagirl** · 09-13-2006, 08:53 PM

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, but I admit that that may have something to do with the playlunch money and the bat phone.

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, 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.
