cracked Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Yeah, must be. Barry Blanchard was spotted using the Micro Puff jacket as a belay jacket in the Canadian Rockies. Guess he must be fat and out of shape. You waif, you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracked Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Dr. Crash, I've been doing all my winter overnighters with a Sub Kilo and an 18 ounce Polarguard jacket. Works great, but I'd want a heavier jacket for technical climbing when you'll be spending lots of time stationary at belays. YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Last time I checked this thread is about belay jackets warm enough to be used as the upper half of a half bag. Anybody else spent some nights in a half bag? I'd be curious to hear what you are using. Bubba climbs in that jacket and carries a full sleeping bag. And it doesn't hurt that he is paid to test that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj001f Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Anybody try the North Face's Belay Jacket/Elephant's Foot zip combo avaiable a couple years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paborden Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 http://www.hmmountaineering.com/ currently has the WT Belay Jacket (L, XL) on sale for $182. They also have Grivel 360s for $39 -- though I got the last of the 17s... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
