I've had the summer blouson for four years now, I used it during the 2002 Triumph Across America tour that ended in Pasadena, California. No, I didn't ride all the way, actually it was only the last 400 miles or so. I have used it as a ski jacket on a sunny day, worked great. But, I mostly wear it as a casual jacket when shopping with the wife, makes for a great conversation opener.
