FirstGear Synchro "Rearview" Rain Jacket

You’d want to buy a jacket in the size you’d normally buy men’s clothes (like your tee shirt/jacket size). The jackets are made slightly taller and larger than standard with the idea you’d be able to wear them over a jacket and pants without having to choose a larger-than-normal size. The chart below gives an estimate of actual measured size. You could choose a jacket size by measuring your chest with your gear on.

This “rearview” version of the Synchro jacket has a clear plastic panel in the back so folks can see the back of your jacket—intended for those who display club logos and such. For the picture, our guy is wearing our “club colors” in the form of a New Enough Tee Shirt :) The Synchro is for those who just need a rain suit in their luggage in case of the infrequent shower. It’s basic PVC construction (to keep the cost low). For comfort the collar is corduroy lined and the jacket has elastic around the waist (to keep wind flap under control). And for safety there is a reflective patch on the back of the jacket. Made to go with the Synchro 2 Rain Pants.
