I like mine, never bought the blazer. Just take out the inner lining and it's a pretty light weight jacket. Plus, I don't wear it in the terminal, just bring it along and lay it over the bag. Some of the people think you have to wear it at all times during the winter, but i never have unless it's cold. I don't think the intent of our manual was to say it must be on at all times anyway, but who cares. If it's hot, take it off!
