chose the vest over the jacket

By Backcountry.com Employee January 9, 2011

I thought I wanted the Thunder jacket, but when I compared this vest with the Thunder jacket side by side, was surprised to find that I preferred the vest. Strangely enough, the jacket was noisy and crinkled a lot when I moved. Not so with the vest, probably because it doesn't have sleeves so there's less fabric moving around to make noise. Either way, I'm happier with the vest and since I already dress in layers and tend to always be taking off or putting on a layer of some sort, I am starting to appreciate vests more...and they're less expensive.
