 Futura/Descente Packable Jacket

I’m always on the hunt for an awesome, ultra compact riding jacket. I used to have an ‘anorak’ years ago that balled up into a little wad the size of a McFilletoFish or whatever the hell those are called. Long gone. This design is efficient and cycling specific, with 1,001 good features.

Unfortunately it’s $400USD.

But nice effort.
