crap i have to stop buying jackets.

just copped an arcT beta sl for spring hiking

[readytoignite]

surprise surprise... eric bought another shell:rolleyes::rolleyes:

I asked the same question before, I did come up w/ vintage Class 5 as some of the best. I now own one, and although it fits a bit funny, it's amazing quality wise.

Woolrich has one in the S/S '10 collection as well, looks exactly like the class 5 joint.

yeah I'm definitely looking for just a shell. 60/40 is crappy in the wet too, and I dunno about ribbed cuffs and hem (though i might just end up with a windrunner or something). Not into that arc'teryx one, I like more classic styling like on the north face x supreme one plus the lime zipper. Thanks though for your recommendations. Maybe I'll just try and get my hands on a penfield.

I like the Class 5 60/40 on ebay right now, sadlife it's a medium though.

bought the penfield anyway. found it for just over a hundy shipped, should do the trick nicely. thanks for the recs though.

[superBobo]

[pompadork]

oipolloi is disgustingly on point.

[vamks]

^ agreed, went to the store last November, dude's were super chill. Hooked me up with a bunch of fjallraven wax.

[pompadork]

Good to know. Thinking of getting one of the remaining XS of this but not sure if it will be too long. We'll see.

[Dead_Wizard]

Anyone know if any US stores will be stocking the yuketen backpacks? I'm going all blaze orange for the rest of my life

hmmmm, i have a $150 visa gift card + 20% off anything at rei.... decisions, decisions

[ericdw]

an arcteryx shell designed for an activity that you'd like to do more of but probably will never have the time, is the obvious answer.

[vamks]

Agreed. Arc'Teryx never ceases to amaze me. Wish I had the funds to own a piece.

Anyone here have any experience with the Marmot "PreClip" jacket?

[readytoignite]

speaking of shells, i picked up a 66 north vatnajokull during their gilt sale and it's the tits... but no i really don't need any more shells haha

however i will be spending a week in tokyo on business, gotta find out where the tnf jp exclusives are hiding

[ericdw]

you need more shells. i've basically forgone all other forms of outwear.

[readytoignite]

i think i have a shell for each day of the week if need be... and on the point of which, anyone use tech wash and have experiences to speak of?

[Hidden Doors]

Anyone here have any experience with the Marmot "PreClip" jacket?

I have one. It's really more of a rain shell than a proper jacket, and cut fairly large, presumably to fit over an insulation layer. Don't ever wear it in the city, but still a mega-waterproof shell for outdoor activities.

[vamks]

Plug, I got 2 things you guys would be interest in on eBay.

Sierra Designs 60/40 Size S

Class 5 Mountaineering Reversible Wool-60/40

[KFC ONE]

I got a $75 Patagonia GC burning a hole in my pocket.

Anyone have the rain shadow jacket?

Any other suggestions?
