If you really want a way to make a it true jeep hoodie, we need to think about a way to hook it up to the heat vents, like velcro on the end of the sleeves! I know that Rangleme knows what I'm talking about.
Where was Bill? Oh that's right he had the work truck.... you could of put on the t-shirts we all got ( layering up works well )


Scoolbz that wasn't meant as your design being terrible.... sorry! I just was stating that the design has to be well rounded for all, not all hoodrats

I didnt have the doors off last night but I sure was thinking it would have been nice to have a hoodie because it was chilly after all the fun in the sun.

Ha ha. No worries!

Hey, your badge must have been flipped around 'cause I didn't get to meet you yesterday. Darn. That, or I was too busy keeping my kids away from the cliffs.

I could have used a hoodie over the weekend, going from 100's to the 70's high 60's in OC and SanDiego, I got chilled quick....

The hoodies are okay for keeping warm but the wind cuts right through them. What I found to be better is a light weight jacket that is wind proof. It is surprisingly warmer even though it is a light weight jacket. It's one of those REI Minstrel Jackets. I always keep it balled up behind my seat for when the sun drops. A fleece one would probably work good too.

Only bad thing we discovered with that is you must carry deoderant if you've had a long hot day

OOOOH Windstop! That would be the way to go, pair that with a JK Forum fleece ski cap and the top would never go up again.

Mine is actually black and it is truely the best money I have ever spent on a garment. It can be balled up but shows no wrinkles. It repells water, blocks wind, and its got a soft flexible/stretchy feel to it. You can go backpacking in it or wear it out to dinner and it still looks good all the time....................Come to think about it, maybe it's me and not the jacket after all!
