That is one thing I haven't brought up but annoys me about the jacket I wear
now.  It is just a normal, everyday jacket, not a riding jacket.  The back
billows up and flaps a lot and the back pulls up.  Not very comfortable for
longer stints.   Do the back vents in a riding jacket help deal with that
problem?  That is one reason I have tried to find jackets with a slightly
longer back to help avoild it riding up.

Thanks again for all the input.  I have to admit that I have riden off and
on over the last 11 years, but have never taken my riding gear seriously
(ie: jacket, boots, pants, gloves, etc).  Definitely trying to be a much
more responsible rider than I used to.
