Safari jacket

[dhermann1]

I've been wanting a good light weight safari type jacket for a while now. After Googling far and wide I found several candidates. I narrowed it down to this group, tho there were a couple others that were a lot more expensive (like $150 to $250) that I liked, but dismissed because of cost.
So what does everybody think of this group? And are there any other recommendations? I want it just for wearing around the city in the summer. Not going anywhere near the Sahara or the Kalihari.

I have the one from Cabela's and like it fine. I wouldn't wear it in the summer, though. It can be as hot in NYC as it is here in Durham and I can't imagine wearing a jacket of any kind in that heat and humidity. At least not during the day. Or evening here.

I also have the Cabelas and like it just fine. At the time it was one of the only SJs I could find in a tall, the fit is just right.

Might I suggest checking one of these existing threads in the Outerwear Forum for recommendations:
