Considering it's one of three class 5 jackets when you ebay "class 5", I'm not sure you're blowing it up .

Pretty ridiculous starting bid though, I agree.

this one has a ridiculous starting bid, so i don't mind blowin it up. nice if not for the price

I've been a little out of touch with this thread, but has anyone mentioned that Fjallraven now has an online store for the US?

http://www.fjallraven.us

pretty cool to check out the USD pricing

[vamks]

Woah, good call, didn't see that. Seemed like they raised the prices of everything. I thought I got things much cheaper before... I guess the demand is skyrocketing.

[spudeey]

Some purchases from this week that would most likely get me neg repped if I posted in the rp thread. Ready for the winter now. Going to a lodge with a friend on the 19th to ice fish, hike, and horseback ride. Bringing this bag that I bought in the summer:

[Dead_Wizard]

How is that bag? the pics on the beckel site made it really hard to understand the size of it.

[vamks]

Yeah, lets get some "fit pics" or something.

[shoreman1782]

sipang at styleforum (not sure if he's a sufu poster) is selling a nifty looking LL bean anorak--100% cotton, size Sm, not sure of age. Pit to pit measures 20.5

I'm not affiliated but dude often has good stuff and I figured this is cheaper than the piece would go for on ebay.

[heBAY]

I actually JUST won that same anorak. 2 weeks ago. I'm happy. If you're over 6'1"...do NOT buy a small. I don't care how gay you like to dress...that shit'll be young as a muhfucka on you. I have a medium and it fits perfectly...I could even do a large and it wouldn't look sloppy.

I am happy.

Unfortunately, I will be on a plane and will not be able to get in on this Sale. Fortunately, I will be on a plane on my way to warm weather. Can't wait to see what you all pick up!

that's a terrible looking down jacket.

that's like something a 65 year old vermonter would wear.

[shoreman1782]

Love the dude in the Himalayan Climber pic with no shoes on.

that's a terrible looking down jacket.

that's like something a 65 year old vermonter would wear.

There's no denying that.

[ericdw]

that's a terrible looking down jacket.

that's like something a 65 year old vermonter would wear.

but it's class 5...

[zackl111]

65 year old vermonters are steezy.

got this today - EMS 60/40 made in hong kong in near mint condition

[soonami]

Why is there such love for the 60/40 fabric?

In my experience, 60/40 is comfortable to wear in nice weather--breathes well, but stays warm--however, in the rain and heavy rain it's plain miserable. It just gets wet, heavy, and cold.

So yeah, why the love in the outdoors community? I mean I have an old J Crew 60/40, Class 5, and some other random pieces that just don't seem like good for protection outside.

[youngluc]

for the people who asked - got it at a thrift store nearby.

[seafinch]

Gilt's Penfield sale is pretty lame... I was hoping for better.

i really like my 60/40 parka, its good enough for light rain but anything heavier im gonna have to use an umbrella anyways... its relatively cheap too but honestly, ever since DQMXCDW came out its been very popular i've noticed..

Old Mountaineering Gear...Nationalism 101...Made In USA...STRICTLY.

I'm looking to sell a few of my packs. Anyone interested in the Vintage Swiss Army salt and pepper i picked up last year?

[slide13]

We had some really cold weather this weekend, high on Saturday was 8* and I found myself in need of something warmer then my Filson Mackinaw cruiser. Stopped by Context and picked up this Fjallraven Cantwell jacket. It's incredibly warm and is working well in this cold weather. Not as stylish as my Filson or Barbour but functionally it's perfect for those super cold days.
