Eleven Hybrid Jacket. This jacket is more like a vest with sleeves. It was a little snug on me so I gave it to my co-worker, and he’s been wearing it the last few months. The vest portion of the jacket is abrasion resistant and has large hand pockets. The arms are an anti-pill fleece fabric and have a medium-size zipper pocket for a small notebook, a pen pocket, and a small pocket with a flap. This jacket also has a hood.

It costs about $80 and while not waterproof, it is warm enough down to about freezing. The tail is long but it would be nice if it were a little longer as it can come untucked when you’re wearing a tool belt. Since this is Australia’s summer, check the company’s website for deals.
