Didn't they wear those jackets on Star Trek?

Hi,
Yeah I did get the flex and used it most of this past year. Works well and very versatile from cold weather to hot, but the downside is that you sacrifice a little in fit to get that range. It's the jacket I use for touring.

I've worn it as a mesh in 90+ weather and down into the upper 30's with all it's liners. Wore it through a few rain showers and stayed dry.

I probably should have gone up a size. It fits well as a mesh, but is a little too tight with the thermal liner in. No room for extra layers, so I ended up buying a different jacket for winter.
