Sickest Jacket Ever
By Erok
Ranked #29 - Men's Jackets
March 4, 2009
I've been riding the 08/09 Special Blend Autograph Jacket for about 3 months now and it is sick! I live in Alaska and this jacket has easily endured subzero temperatures, 25+ mph winds, and freezing rain. I have yet to get even the slightest bit wet or cold while riding. There's plenty of pockets, a decent amount of insulation, more waterproofing than you could ever wish for, and tons of sick SB style too. My only complaint is that the wrist gaiters don't have any sort of elastic band to keep them from slipping off your gloves, if you wear the sleeves over your gloves that is (they do have a velcro adjustment though). One important thing to note is that this jacket certainly does run a little big. I typically wear a medium, which is what I originally ordered, but had to exchange it for a small. Hardly a complaint when DogFunk shot me out a new one free of charge (shipping to Alaska isn't cheap). The bottom line; if you're looking for an insanely waterproof jacket that looks as sick as it functions, don't hesitate to pick up an Autograph. A+
