Anyways, I had a hard time finding a heavy coat- I didn't have one, since I missed last winter, and I can't remember now what I did before (fleece and a rain coat I think) I left for NZ- and I decided I was done being cold. So I looked and looked, then decided on getting a down jacket from REI. It seemed a wise move, being in a sleeping bag jacket. But it ripped 3 days after I got it, and I retuned it. My 2nd one lasted longer, but it split it's seems. The one great thing about REI is that you can take things back for whatever reason. 2 years of shoe wearing, and they break- you can take them back, and get your money back.
So I took 2nd coat back, got credit, and it turns out, they've gotten rid of all their winter coats. There was nearly nothing. And I was there a month ago, and they had tons.
So I left angrily, went to 2nd ascent, and payed less for a coat that's sold for waaaaay more elsewhere. It's a GoLite. I like in the "uses" description it reads:
- Alpinism
- Ice climbing
- Backcountry skiing/snowboarding
- Around town
- Skiing
Guess which one I use it for?
