This looks like a great winter jacket for my neck of the woods. Average temp last month was about 13 F. Hand warmer pockets and flexible do it for me too.

My airline pilot friend loves his G&B B-3. Lots of opportunities to wear it now, and this winter as the temp today is 22 degrees F.

This time of the year (late February - early March), the weather is all over the board in N Texas. Right now 25 degrees F with 1/2" of glazed ice underneath 4" of snow, but in the mid 70's by this time next week. I love G&B's civil version of the B-3 but very limited opportunity for use here.

Yes...limited opportunity is correct. That is what I told my friend as he sent his G&B goatskin A-2 back, and exchanged for the B-3. The A-2 is pretty much a 3 season jacket. Well, maybe 2 1/2!
