billcoe Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Speaking of apparelTech, just scored a cold-weather hoodie of remarkable design and construction for $35 (retail $115) at the Columbia outlet shop in Sellwood. It's called a 'Galaxy Hoodie' and is ridiculously stout with a great neck/hood system. Possibly the clothing deal of the year. Just bought 3 based on your recommendation. I trust your opinion, but figured at that price if it's no good I could use it as toilet paper and toss it and still be ahead. I got 1 for the pup who just left for college and missed it till he gets back - and 2 for me, sweet sweet deal! [font:Arial Black]THANKS FOR THAT HEADS UP JH! [/font] My only complaint on the design is that the zippered pocket for a key is too small. I'm not sure how they are claiming some kind of waterproofing either, but we'll find that out soon enough.

Plaidman Posted January 9, 2011 Author Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) I went and bought one too! I love it. So versatile. It is a blaclava, hat, and great warm layer. It does sheds rain but is not water proof. It's perfect for me. My wife wants one too. It really is a great deal. Edited January 9, 2011 by Plaidman Quote

ivan Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 nice - just noticed how this pic catches all the gear on the traverse in the background - it's a testament to how fucking dark it is in that cave that i never noticed those anchors till today! Quote
stevetimetravlr Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Somewhere behind my head in that photo is where that piece of rock fell off when i got on the semi detached block. That was wierd when that fell off above my head and I wasn't even touching it, just hanging on the block. Quote
JosephH Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Heading out there tomorrow (Wed) if anyone wants to tag along. Quote
iain Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Jim looks like he's ready to go scuba diving in the Columbia. Quote
