Double at the top, single way down at the bottom with ventless.


Each has of course been peddled by shops anxious to change fashions for the masses and thus sell more.

Along with hacking pockets ie slanted. Let them both stay on horses!

huh interesting, i always thought it'd be easier with side vents, letting it fall behind you... I've never worn a jacket while riding - and i've never actually paid attention to others who may have been wearing a jacket.
