By happy accident, I bought a women's REI Gossamer Jacket back when they looked like the jacked pictured in this article (http://www.wta.org/magazine/1213.pdf).
For the link averse, it shows sewn-in sleeves and a hood.
I loved that jacket so much and brought it with me everywhere, but then one day after teaching class, I reached the back of my chair to pick up my jacket and it was gone. I can only hope that whatever student felt the need to steal my jacket, needed it more than me.
That said, when I went to REI, the hood was gone and the sleeves were detachable, both of which were (in my opinion) negatives. So I didn't buy a replacement and wanted to wait until the next year.
Well, I've waited. And waited. And now the Gossamer Jackets are completely gone.
Is there another jacket that I can purchase that is as light and compressible as the original, while also sporting attached sleeves and a hood?
