Found this gem on e-bay at a great price; I would never pay the retail 'cause I'm cheap. Only bought the jacket because of the positive image association I hope to get from the logo. I work in a data center with other wannabe outdoorsmen but finding time to sit in the woods is a challenge. I use this jacket to get from my SUV in the parking lot to the front door of the center and it has never failed me. Even when the temp is down to 40 degrees and I'm out there for three or four minutes.

All joking aside, I like this jacket because it makes my co-workers think I climb mountains, rocks, or hills or something when I'm not at work sucking up to the boss. I don't climb things because there is a risk of falling and I might tear my jacket or get it dusty. Also, during the process of falling; gravity, friction, and rocks are not your friends. Pain hurts and I try to not go there. I'm a very shallow person. This jacket feels great, keeps the rain out, and it's warm. Ignore the bashers and buy one.
