Hello everyone. I haven't posted lately but have been reading the posts. I have a question about the Aero BOB jacket. I ordered mine back in March. It came about 8 months later (last month). That worked because here in North Carolina it is just now starting to get cold. My question is about breaking in the jacket. The shoulders are just right, the sleeve length and the overall length work perfectly. My concern is the snug fit. I typically wear a sweater under a jacket or coat because when I am inside I feel more comfotable with a sweater (in cold weater).
With this jacket it is hard to wear a sweater both in the midsection and especially in the sleeves. The sleeves are very tight. I feel somewhat like the kid in the Christmas Story movie who is so bundled up he can't put his arms down. The jacket works well without a sweater and I wouldn't want any more bulk in the back and shoulders. So the question is; how much does the pile lay down as the jacket is worn and does it give any with wear? What can I expect (expecially in the sleeve tightness)?
Thanks and happy holidays to all!
