Does any have any experience with these jackets? I’ve never heard of them. Seems expensive for what it is. Are they nice? Are they comfortable? Warm? Waterproof? I’m just looking for an overall review of it and I can’t seem to find much on forums or by googling.

from what I hear people either love or hate them. A southwest guy I talked too said it runs big, so maybe order a size down. He said it’s warm, and works well enough to not have to pack a jacket for his overnights. His main gripe was quality. Said it was starting to fray pretty early and was expensive for what it is.

And Southwest is probably ordering ten times the number of embroidered name tags resulting in a bulk discount from whoever supplied their name patches. Can’t we just be happy about something for once?

The AirWis name tag is $20. The Southwest name tag is $20. The jacket and inner jacket cost more. Also, I never said I was unhappy. I’m just pointing out the fact that we are paying more than Southwest.

I’m playing the world’s smallest violin over here. Probably a bulk discount. They’re buying 10x the amount whiskey could. Why does it matter? Stick to the weird trench or the 80’s leather jacket if the extra $10 is a big deal.

It’s $16 extra, not $10. I’m not sure why you’re playing the world’s smallest violin for me. Again, I’m not complaining. I’m just pointing out facts. Southwest pilots pay less than Willy pilots for the same product. Fact.
