Teknic Supervent jacket: opinions please
What are the opinions about this jacket? Is it just kind of a jogging coat with slight armoring or more than this? I never saw one for real so I ignore how they can "feel". They surely are better than a t-shirt but are they worth to spend any amount of money to get it? Thanks!

dont know anything about that one...I use a Fieldsheer nylon mesh for the summer time. I paid 99 bucks for mine hand havent had any problems with it. THe fieldsheer has kevlar in the shuolders and forearms and dual density foam in the back and along the waist...it breaths very well once you are moving, but being black it gets wamt at a stop......there are lots of options out there, for about the same price...check some of them out....Jim
