Betty Rides Day Dream Manic Jacket


I had this jacket picked out last year and was very excited the multi color was just what I wanted. Then come to get it and there are no gaiters in the wrist area...this is no good for utah powder. There is no medium pocket access from the outside of the jacket like all my other betty rides jackets. The media pocket is a small spot where an Ipod can fit snuggly. there is one other lower inner waist pocket but it is just annoying. The large is bigger than their other larges, the medium is bigger than other betty rides mediums. I need right in between. Switched from large to medium for a better fit, but the sleeves are not as long as I like and with no wrist gaiters that makes for cold arms which kept the rest of my body really cold. The zipper gets stuck at the bottom and is really hard to get started zipping up or to unzip to take off. This was the same on the other sizes I tried on, so it will be the same on all.

I have taken this jacket and used it in many different things and climates as the photos show. I do still like the jacket, just wish it was warmer for me to use it with everything I do all the time.



More photos to come as I get people to take shots of me doing stuff.
