Yes I'm a totally newbie when it comes to adv jackets, BUT yes, I guess it is a necessity - or is it??

In short - what is the primary "use" of a jacket??

Safety??

Comfort??

"Space" for stuff (pockets etc etc)

And THEN..............

I dont like wearing one but I guess one could (should??) get into the habit.

But I get VERY hot VERY quickly.

So.........I need a cool jacket that I can wear in Summer.......in Winter its too damn cold here anyway BUT if I need to, I'd then just wear something like a puff or long vest etc etc underneath.

I've bought THREE jackets already, and yes......I just dont like them. Will sell them off again, and look for that ONE "allrounder" - but my primary concern (or use) would be in the warmer months.

The pants I got from Dwerg are just GREAT, and I'm actually very very comfy in them, so that's fine.

........Or do I get one of those gauze body armour thingies and wear a long sleeve tshirt over that?? Just a mission to take off when stopping somehwre??

Help my hierso asb..........THANKS
