Well, I opted for the 2x Ventile Greenspot jacket, even though I was really
interested in a smock. It won't be here for 6-8 weeks, so won't be able to
report for a while yet.
I wanted the jacket because it will be primarily used as a
commuting/general purpose jacket, and a zipper is more
John, you're right and I've lost my mind! Ghosts of previous shells that
needed pit zips any more have addled me. Only dropping the front zip has
been necessary to get all the venting needed (duh, that was the primary
attraction of Ventile to me).
Sorry for the confusion. It clearly has been
Andy, I didn’t realize the Braemar had pit zips? I don’t see this detail on
their specifications page. Pit zips would certainly help in airflow no matter
what the fabric.
You have the DV or the Hybrid?

I didn't option my Braemar with side zips, I get how they could be helpful
when getting out of the smock/anorak. Available on the customization
options for 50 BSP. As airflow is concerned, with my neck zip down and the
pit zips opened up, ventilation is not an issue. Certainly not for the
John, I found the zips to be of minimal use and annoying on the bike, having to
tuck the front flap under to prevent flapping with each pedal stroke. The
standard smock easily bunches up a bit at the waist in front, still being
longer to cover my rear. My newer red smock does not have them and
Thanks Patrick and Andy for your assistance. Very interesting about the
coloration of cottons. I had no idea.
I’m not one who would wear “neon” green or yellow, but I’m partial to a “warm”
color like orange or red to be seen on the road.
Guys: Do you have size zips for your smock? I would
John, that's the item I have now, their Braemar smock, in red.
Fluorescent colors in fabrics are a bit more susceptible to UV degradation
of the pigments that produce the fluorescent color effect. The base fabric
dictates the necessity of chemical characteristics of a coloring dye,
cotton is
John, the “clear reason” for me to go with cotton analogy is it removes
moisture via capilary action. Otherwise, I agree, all cotton would be
preferable.

Thanks Patrick!
Interestingly, the 2x Ventile is the same weight as Cotton Analogy. I’d rather
buy all cotton “all things equal” unless there is a clear reason to do
otherwise. I like the smock option best, BTW. Less zipper, perhaps slightly
more cumbersome to put on, but the kangaroo pockets

I got it in red after my brain healed to the point I was riding trafficed roads

I have been eyeing those. Thanks for heads up on the discount. Might still be
a bit too pricey for my budget, but I have a few days to ponder. Do you have
the smock? Did you size up to allow layering underneath or does the garment
fit loose in your recommended size (going by chest
Best rain jacket I’ve ever had, going on over five years now. No affiliation,
just a very satisfied customer. 20% off cotton analogy through August.
