So I'm sitting on the toilet and thinking about random shit and this thought comes up: why the fuck do like 50% of the jackets I own/have owned not have a little loop for hooking on to things, on the back of the neck. The first example that comes to mind is my bloom jacket, but at least half of the jackets I have owned are the same.

Is this like a cost efficiency thing, or are companies just figuring not enough people hang their jackets on hooks? Seriously what's up.

Same with jackets with no powder skirt and no wrist gaitors. No wrist gaitors makes for a cold air gap . Makes no sense to me .

All of my jackets have that loop on the inside of the jacket, right above the tag. It allows the jacket to hang rightside out and allows for quicker/better drying.

I can see that for park skiing but for powder it would suck . Cold wrists all day . I hate wrist leashes on gloves tho. I cut those out always.

I have never dropped a glove on the lift due to this beautiful invention.

I'm still looking for a jacket that has a "pass pocket". I'm not sure what they're really called but it's like a plastic see through pocket with a flap over it to put your pass in. Scanners can scan through it and you don't have to risk tieing it somewhere or pull out your lanyard every time.

Anyway I had a jacket that had that when I was younger. Haven't even seen one since..


Hint hint bloom;)
