Agree with that point 100%...the Perone might be heavy, but at least it’s bulky and not that warm too.

I just buy and wear whatever jacket I want. Otherwise, get robbed in Europe just because they know you are FedEx pilot. Of course sometimes they can figure me out cuz I have on the white sandles and black socks pulled up to my knees.

Why bother with the survey, we are just going to go with whatever jacket the MEC wants anyways.

And they won’t tell us what the survey results are anyway.

I would be happy with just being able to use my uniform allowance to get a decent pair of pants from Mr Raymond at Winston & Company in HKG.

I looked at the jackets.

They all suck.

Why have epaulets if they are sewn shut? For fashion? No thanks.

I agree with the Patagonia, North Face, crowd.

I have a light weight Gore-tex black rain coat from Mountain Hardware that is excellent.

I think they need to increase the sample size.
