It appears to be very similar, the blitz doesn’t have the flap in the back. The blitz seems to be more of an everyday jacket, while the Stevenson seems a little more specialized for rowers.

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.

You are correct but you can actually sit on it and still have full range of motion.

Yeah fifteen years ago it was cheaper, especially when we ordered the group rate.

Right on, what was your team’s policy? Mine was three seasons and you could order one.

There’s also a really preppy company too with the name.

Yes, generally the specific colors are for crew teams custom orders.

If it is pouring there is some bleed through, but throwing it in a tumble dry seems to recharge the goretex

I’m assuming since my jacket is in great condition after pretty regular use that it is a different brand.

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.

People from Pittsburgh must have bribed the list maker to stay off the list. Its a pretty nice place that is still kinda affordable, at least it was when my sister left there for a new job a few years ago.

I respectfully have to disagree with reselling shoes that aren’t your size.

We’ve seen arcterx and Patagonia jackets, but I’ve yet to see a boathouse jacket. I’m not saying it’s better than any others but it has at least 15 years under its belt, is in good condition and you can still buy one.
