I was and still am deeply tempted by Will and Patrick's descriptions of the ventile jackets, particularly the Greenspot.
Regardless I received a very generous gift two Christmases ago of an Alpha Industries M-65 field jacket, it's a fairly accurate reproduction if the classic military coat in a 50/50 Nylon/Cotton blend. I've found it to have many of the same wearing properties that also describe the ventile experience. For my DC area commute it comes out once it starts to get in the 50's and I haven't needed anything heavier, and layering underneath is usually pretty minimal. And I do love the pockets and the long tail. The roll up hood does leave allot to be desired though it keeps my neck dry in the rain and my Gore helmet cover different the rest.
