jon Posted August 19, 2003 Posted August 19, 2003 Attitude said: This (3 oz, $59) over a light wool base layer works great! I love my DriClimb jacket but this is way more versatile. My only complaint is that it isn't full zip. Quote
allthumbs Posted August 19, 2003 Posted August 19, 2003 I've got a version of that and agree fully with the "layers camp". All-in-ones are fucked whether it's in electronics or clothes. My opinion....but I'm usually always right. Hi Jon Quote

allthumbs Posted August 19, 2003 Posted August 19, 2003 I 100% agree with Jim Nelson's philosophy on clothes. It ain't rocket science folks. Layers rule. Quote
Ursa_Eagle Posted August 19, 2003 Posted August 19, 2003 I've become a fan of single layer stuff. No need to constantly stop and change layers... It works a little better on the legs than the torso though. Quote
allthumbs Posted August 19, 2003 Posted August 19, 2003 sure, if you're sittin around on your ass and don't mind carrying the weight. course at e38 it really don't matter much now does it? Quote

I know they're cute, and stylin, and popular and all that; but for function and comfort range I think Attitude has the right idea. As an admitted gearhead, I have a number of clothing options. I still seem to reach for my Driclime even though it is an ugly color and in fact a neither cute nor flattering piece IMO. To that end, I never wear it in town, too fugly. As far as its functionality, weight, all that, well it's been on a lot of trips and stuff and never let me down. If that choice doesn't work for everyone... Quote

layton Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 drimeclime windshirt rules in the summer b/c: just enough insulation/wind resistance at the belay to keep warm. don't have to take 2 separate layers on and off, just one. in the winter: as your outer hiking layer, inner microclimate layer. it sux b/c: it is expensive, the wrists are way too small, the zipper catches, and shred the fuck out of any hangnails or lil skin flappers you probably have.
