I have finally spent a bit more time in the Astral Greenjacket and I have decided it is time to go ahead with my finally review of the product. My previous jacket was a Stohlquist Brik . Which is a side entry style jacket. I was really happy with performance and fit. I did have a zipper problem which was a not really taken care of by Stohlquist. I was teaching a class and was performing a "Cowboy/Back Deck" rescue and the zipper broke.

Our location is perfect for walking on the ferry and then renting a bike when you arrive in town. Being in the heart of town and close to the ferry makes it easy. I have all the bikes clean and ready to be rented. This se...
