Good deal on puffy coat (belay parka)

[Bronco]

$89.00 at sierra trading post. Seems pretty light weight to be real warm, but probably just fine for 3 season climbing around here. Nice looking hood too.

The vest version of that Moonstone puffer is going for 25 or 30 bucks at Second Ascent right now. There are a bunch of them there, and if you are lucky, you might be able to buy one from an actual real-live mountain guide.

That one's sold out, has no hood and is 5 oz HEAVIER!

[ashw_justin]

Heheh yeah it's sold out because I got the last one... for $62. I didn't care about the hood, but yes it is heavier. But maybe it's warmer? Meet me in the deep freeze for a puffy showdown!

I just ordered one of the golites.

 

It'll make a good replacement for my Coal. And I'm pretty sure it'll be warmer than Justin's POS.

[ashw_justin]

Yeah but this one's blue. That's very important.

[cracked]

Yeah, I'll admit that the golite colors are lame.

[ashw_justin]

Yeah and you know how important it is to me that I look like a real climber...

[EWolfe]

It's a bit too big for me:

 

[tomtom]

Yeah, I'll admit that the golite colors are lame.

 

 

The Golites are still available, just look for them.

rawkin jackets, though.
