She wheres them every day. I live in Florida and as Ive gotten older Ive made it a rule to wear a hat every time I go outside in the daytime (which I do often). It keeps everything clean and neat. A representative from Rockdove contacted me and immediately said that they would correct the situation. The outer jacket quality really keeps out the water, doesnt give me a wet or damp sensation and Its become my favorite jacket to wear when im out traveling with friends. Its not a major inconvenience, but it is quite annoying. I imagine theyre great if you use them gently around the house, but they dont take a beating or any tugging/roughhousing. fabulous ! However, what I received measured 10in plus it had holes in the trainer. The bolt came undone and I lost the parts to get it back together as theyre pretty small.
