allthumbs Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 After countless $$$ and "the other guy" raingear, I'm sold on Arc'teryx's lightest weight XCR shit. The Sirrus jacket and the Beta Lt. pant. I've never been wet in them and they breathe just fine for me. 25 oz. for the pair. Spendy, but worth it for me. To each his own I guess the saying goes. Oh, and minx, don't tell me "you're such a gurl". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphinx Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 The Sirrus isn't XCR, it's Paclite. Not like it matters, or anything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use XCR on the shoulders and elbows? for more abrasion resistance. THat's an awesome jacket, but a complete ripoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshK Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 Hey, I didn't say I wasn't still thinking about getting one REI had them on sale a few weeks ago, but just the dark blue color. I want the red one, but nobody seems to want to sell it to me for anything less than retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cracked Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 I want one too, but they don't fit. I'm not about to spend that much money on a coat just to cut it up and replace the arms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthumbs Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 I've got a hardly used Theta AR I'll sell ya cheap. It's not the XCR though, and I cut out the pockets so it'd breathe better. $200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphinx Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 Kinda heavy though, no? Must be why do don't use it much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin_Ristau Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I carry a pair of Helly Hansen Packable rain pants. They are not breatheable but they are very light, durable, and they pack down very small - about the size of a pair of wool socks. They were also ridiculously cheap. For as often as I wear them, the breathability is not an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I've got some Moonstone Schoeller Dynamic (? Their lightest weight) pants and they rock that I got on clearance. Very breathable and fairly wind and water proof, and their great because they have work at a vast temperature range. I wouldn't climb in Gore-Tex et al unless it was really cold and wet out, otherwise as Dru pointed out you are going to get wet from sweating. Then get some light cheap rain pants for when you aren't moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
