Hi,

Too little exercise and too much good food requires that I replace my decade-old expedition shell, and I'm underwhelmed by what I see in the stores. I'm hoping I'm just looking in the wrong place, hence my plea for help.

My current shell is EMS-brand, Gore-Tex, with an attached hood stowable in a collar roll, horizontal zipper-close pockets, poorly executed wrist cinches, and a faded 'high-visibility' yellow and black color scheme. Except for the 'poorly executed' and 'faded', these are all 'must have' features. I'd also like velcro pocket closures rather than zips so I don't need to unglove or need two hands to open the pockets, and the usual assortment of features useful for surviving in the open during summer excursions 'north of sixty'. I'm budgeting US$300, but I'd like to spend less. New isn't necessary -- heaven knows my current shell wouldn't win any prizes ...

Any ideas?

Thanks.

George E Sollish
