Or one of these branded with the logo:

I can probably make this happen. If I get approval from OB And the files I have a buddy that does printing. Would just have to make a form for everyone that once’s one to fill out so we can get sizes and a better idea of price.

Based on previous discussions surrounding members producing OLB branded stuff, M&C are pretty particular about products with their logo and generally seem to discourage it outside of one off items made for personal use.
Keep in mind, this is a business for them and the logos and such are protected by copyrights. I would definitely work with them directly before having anything produced. (I saw you said with their approval, just stating this more for others who may not have thought about it).
All that said, my wife has a cricut and heat press, and I've thought of having her add a simple logo and member number to one. Though, if OLB produced some I'd likely just by theirs.

I'm in for a hoodie and a zippered hoodie!
No numbers no shit just a big OB logo on the back!

Just purchased yesterday, at Costco, for $79, a North Face Wind Wall hoodie jacket. Stretchy, fits great, light weight, takes the edge off the cool evening air, super comfy and would be the coolest OB hoodie around. I’ve seen these at REI for $120. Not sure if water resistant, but maybe a patch sewn on would be doable. I’d buy another for sure! They came in Black, Olive, Gray and Navy. This will become part of my regular Overland wardrobe.

Full length zipper would be mandatory. PLUS a Velcro section on the breast area for attachment of a OB patch or the 'adventure is necessary patch'.

That is why i like the Velcro option, as it would be less involved and cheaper to have a members patch version made, and then applied to the hoodie. I am thinking of doing a black amazon ball-cap that would allow me to put my members patch on it, or another Velcro backed patch. I have a wicked 'honey badger' i really like

Did somebody say honey badger?
Seriously though, I like the idea of a soft shell having Velcro to attach the member number patch, but I would say put it on the sleeve. I envision having the chest embroidered to look like the "Adventure is Necessary" patch and the back embroidered with the "Outfit and Explore" tread. The problem is that embroidery will reduce the water resistance of the soft shell unless sealed correctly.

True on the embroidery question, good idea on the shoulder location. In that case, Velcro on both shoulders.

I like the idea of a softshell jacket with velcro options for patches. Count me in.
