Dane Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 For those interested I've started a blog for gear reviews and may be a few climbing notes thrown in as well. http://coldthistle.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Sharp looking blog Dane. Where do you get R1 Hoodies for $65? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Thanks for looking in Bill. The blog review was on the Patagonia "Sun Hoody" which costs $65 retail. It is the little brother of the R1. The R1 hoody was mentioned in passing as another good piece of gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Sharp looking blog Dane. Where do you get R1 Hoodies for $65? You get the clone at MEC for $62 http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302699173&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442627307 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 MEC makes some outstanding gear. Haven't seen the $62 piece and it may compare well to the R1 which retails for the silly price of $150!!! Even at the typical $90 on line sale price the R1 is no steal. But I do like the style of pull over. MEC hoody is a must see. Thanks for the link Drew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 This thread popped up on the blog stats a minute or so ago. Thought I'd give a shout out for the SAG Khushi hoodie. No question my favorite hoody currently but it is extremely lwt weight and not intended to replace the MEC version or the R1. And again at $90, may be a good value for Merino wool but no give away either. More on a few hoodies here: http://coldthistle.blogspot.com/2011/05/base-layer-hoodies.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
