LOL! This thread is mad funny! I usually expect to go thru a pair of pants every summer since I work at an outdoor climbing wall and tend to climb everyday. In Summer or warm weather I use Pajama Pants. They are cheap, the most comfortable and are easy to roll up or cut. For cooler weather...Weather/Wind Proof Softshell is good but you'll still replace them often if you climb rough. MAMMUT makes the best ones made specifically for climbing and bouldering. I've been using the Mammut Courmayeur(shown below) overtime for the last 2 years and they still look new. For Ice climbing...I tore up two pricey GoreTex XCR & PacLITE pants last year with crampon punctures so I'm gonna use rugged ProShell bibs (Arteryx Alpha SV) this year. At $225 to $400 they are expensive, but light, tough and weatherproof. Stay the hell away from PacLITE or thin XCR (between the ice, your crampons, your picks and your screws your PacLITE/XCR pants will be an easy feast! Also wear gaiters if you have 'em. Last year I didn't and I now understand it to be cheaper to destroy gaiters than pants or much easier to patch up gaiters instead of pants. As for Carhatts & Dickies I never would imagine climbing in them and getting the same flexibility...but if that worked for you before..DO IT! One other note: MAMMUT came out with one of the best products this year. The Deep Pro Shorts. Complete with waterproof chalk pockets and what looks to be waterproof material all over with flex panels and a padded lumbar support. These were made for climbers who freeclimb over sea so when they fall off the rock and into the water, they have instant swim wear that dry quickly and keep chalk dry. But you can use them anyhow you like too bad they are NOT sold in the USA as yet.

Cilogear is a safebet for going light and enviro-friendly, but Dana Design classics AstralPlane line is the best. Plus you can still buy them from brand new with tags to used condition on eBay for anywhere between $60 to $200. Those packs will outlive you and the ride the really big loads comfortably. I have a short-medium torso and found Lowe Alpine to be by far the best designer for people like me who carry big packs. Their classic stuff also last long as well (I roll with some with frequent hikers that still have old school Lowe packs from the 70s...so that lets you know). I have bad experiences with Osprey and The North Face pack to recommend them.

Yup! Zero is right! Lifetime means IN YOUR LIFETIME! Get Patagonia to own up. Besides they are better jackets out there now...so look around for a new classic as well whiles you are out there looking for your first love reincarnated.

SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL! He will have to go to China for that! Isnt Gore's & Patagonia's factories out there now peddling lo qual gear off the back of cheap labor and hungry kids?

Rick what size you wear? This Large fits on the slimfit side so the jacket is worn next to skin. I wear medium and the times I wore this I had lots of cold weather layers under. So it will fit you if you are a medium or large depending on how you plan to use it.

eBay is your new best friend! These old School Torres appear on there about once a week. DO a "Favorite Search w/ daily email alerts" and before you know it you'll find a new one for under $200.

As you can see from the pictures it still looks new inside and out, has all the modern features, and it is a 105 Liter pack that compresses down to the size of a medium sized bookbag. Ther is no odors or bad smells on this and it comes from a pet and smoke free home.

Sorry about the delay. I finally got time this afternoon to drive over to my parents and get the Lowe alpine Countour from the basement to take some pics. Will PM them to you later.

Yeah, I will take some pics tonight and send it asap. Thanks.

I almost forgot to mention. It also has a straps for carring a snowboard as well.

Asking $100 or best offer. I got this last year for X-mas and never used it. Still new with tags. Has all the bells and whistles for an Alpine/Winter/Approach pack and only weights in at a little over 3lbs. Has >50 + 10 Liters of cubic space, >Detachable lid, >Removable hip belt-with gear loops&designed to compliment climbing harness, >Bivy mat, >Winterized hydration pocket, >Crampon pocket, >SKI Goggle/Shades pocket >Quick access pocket for foul weather gear >Color coded floating interior pocket in main compartment. >Rope Container-latch, >And this one of a kind pack allows you to carry a weekend's worth of winter gear inside whiles securely latching snowshoes, crampons, ice tools, an ice axe, skiis, ski poles, rope, climbing hardware, etc..., all at the sametime on the outside of the pack (see pics below) Fits all torso sizes between Small (16 inch) and Large (24 inch).

Hey buddy, The pack looks like new and I will include the rainfly (also new) that I've used with it. I only used it about 5-6 times and loaned it out no more than 3 times mainly for 3-4 day holiday weekend trips around the NE region. It is cobalt blue with black trim. I will send an updated picture to you as soon as I can. Your offer in the range of $50 - $100 sounds good to me. I wont ask you to pay more for than a $100 for a used pack. Where in the USA do you live (so I can consider shipping costs)?

Thanks Walden. Quick FYI for all the PMs I got today: 1) I do take Paypal. 2) I was expecting offers to start around the $200 ballpark. This is a tricky thing to sell. It carries a cult value as well as technical value. In my opinion the technical worth would be around $200. My climbing partner sold his brand new Kichatna a few years ago for something ridiculous like $550, only because when he put it on eBay bidders were willing to pay loads of money to win this rare jacket. I won't ask for that much here, so I decided to do both and see what happens.... 3) ...And if you use eBay I also have the jacket there and got a few interested people from eBay but I loathe selling on eBay and dealing with seller fees and I give first preferences to my forum family here. Thanks for all your inquiries. Cheers.

Looking for this jacket for a few weeks. Only stores that sell them are online, european and do not ship to USA. I know this is a long shot... If anyone is going to Europe, specifically Germany, this season and want to pick this up for me that would be cool. I would pay for item and add extra for the thanks.

Thanks.

Cleaning out some old stuff I acquired but never used from my days whiles instructing courses at Outward Bound. This is from the 1995/1996 line back when TNF made gear for Adventurers and not High School kids. Has been Air-Sealed in a zip lock all these years and still Brand New with all tags and in the classic yellow-gold color. Mens Medium. Stuff sack included. BEST OFFER.

dude, you maybe in luck. I have a Lowe Contour IV that is 90 + 10 Liters and it is in excellent condition. My first pack ever bought in 95/96 until I replaced it with a Dana Design Astralplane in 2000. I usually loan it to newbie camping partners that come out with me other than that its pretty much been sitting lonely in my parent's basement. (The Contour can be user sized to fit any torso between something like 16 inch and 24 in) How much you looking to spend here?

no one needs a windstopper!? guess this one is going to eBay.
