Comments about Nau Riding Jacket - Men's:
This is a great jacket and a great idea: a soft shell that looks like a sport coat. Or a sport coat that's made like a soft shell. Or a sport coat that IS a sport coat. It has wonderfully long arms, so the sleeves don't ride up when riding. And the button at the neck does a great job of keeping me warm when the weather is nasty. And the fabric has some give. So generally it's more comfortable than a regular sport coat, but it doesn't provide the same freedom of movement as a regular softshell.
I bought this intending it to be a travel blazer, but changed my mind: the pockets aren't right. To make it a better coat for travel, it needs: A chest pocket (with strong, discreet zipper), a zipper on the inside pocket, and perhaps zippers on the hand pockets. On a plane, you could only access the one, small, smartphone-sized inside pocket (which, unusually, is on the right side and better for southpaws).
And the cut, while fashionable, is a bit tight in the chest and arms. To rock this, you need to be skinny. Not buff, athletic, or even lean. Skinny.
But overall a great jacket to add some style to your adventures.
