A true BIFL jacket, the Stevenson Jacket made by Boathouse. I’ve had mine for over 15 years, rowed multiple seasons in it, wore it shoveling snow, commuting in NYC, and hiking. A waterproof 3 season jacket you can still purchase.ripgoodhomer OP t1_jbqykq1 wrote

The only downside of this jacket is the pocket situation. It has one center pouch pocket under the zipper, and it has one left hand pocket both Velcro and zip. It’s a little bit weird, but from an ergonomic standpoint for rowing it actually makes sense.

Wouldn't the center pocket be impossible to get into under a life jacket?

You typically don’t wear a life jacket while rowing. I rarely ever accessed my pocket on the water, but the reason it’s a pouch is the oar will get caught and rip the sleeve style pocket on a hoodie.
