oh well.
if you don't like it don't buy it. nuff' said.
when i was a kid i was sooo happy to get one of those columbia jackets that had the zip out inside. it really made my day. though one time at skool(6th geade) i lost the shell and was crushed.
i did also get and still have a columbia goretex coat. works like the resst of the goretex shit.
big business is big business. no small corp can survive in a specialized market when we are about to kill hundreds of thousands of people for money. wait till we finnish of the arabs, and we increase our fossil fuel output...we won't need any of those stinkin jackets.
