User Review: Moonstone Sauvage Jacket

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Fabric: taslan nylon/Gore-tex
Price Paid: $100

Damn durable parka. Moonstone is owned by some conglomerate now, but they used to sew these Sauvage Jackets in Arcata, CA, and charge about $450 for them. I got this on E-Bay three years ago for a hundred bucks. When it arrived, it stank of cigarette smoke, and the smoke seemed to have permeated the Gore-tex, because I washed it a dozen times, and it still stank. I was going to throw it away, but instead I just hung it on a tree branch in the woods for a whole winter. When I happened upon it again, it didn't stink anymore. I renewed the DWR, and I've worn it ever since. I can't think of too many jackets that could take that much washing, and four months constant exposure to the elements, and still be waterproof.
