said in Patagonia, Patagucci. Mattagonia....:

Paula's main ski jacket. I'm guessing from early 2000's. Just a brilliant pice of kit. The waterproof membrane is failing, so I have just filled out a repair request.....

Does anyone want this Circa 2009 ski jacket with powder skirt. Size small. FOC, but you pay for shipping or stack it and have it shipped with your next order.

It is an amazing jacket, but the inner coating has started to breakdown. Not sure if that is a big deal to its functionality.

P looks amazing in it.

@Giles I’m pretty sure my wife would absolutely love that if no one else has claimed it?

[Giles]

And gone.....

[DeeDee85]

@Giles Many, many thanks, she’s going to love it!

@endo is the backpack a 25L black hole? I just ordered a black hole duffel carry on last week. It has arrived and I love it. Curious about your backpack as I may add it to my setup. Thanks, hope you're well.

I've been searching for a black N1, or down vest to wear over UHF. All of the recent Patagonia talk got me looking, Just grabbed one of these...

Crash! Bang! Wallop!

What a rainjacket.

@scooter would be interested to hear how you get on with this vest's sizing and such compared to your normal preferred IH things.

For anyone who has stuff they don't use anymore, they're offering 2X the trade in value through the 16th. Dropped off a handful of old things and walked out with a really well loaded gift card.

To me, this is the best puffy jacket money can buy:

This is what one online review on the Patagonia website said (and I totally agree):

"False advertising!!!
I bought a synthetic down jacket, NOT an impenetrable suit of dragon scales!!!"

[Matt]

That’s a nice looking jacket.

I’d like to give a shout to a couple of somewhat newer brands Patagonia fans might enjoy.

On the more serious mountaineering side, there’s Himali out of Boulder, CO. Stylish, but mostly pretty serious gear with good warmth to weight. They are having a sale currently.

On the more stylish, bougie side there is Stio of Jackson, WY. Still technical, but a bit more stylish.

@RobeOfTheMagi what is that model called?

[pechelman]

Maybe the das light hoodie. One of their few jackets with a dual zip

[AdamJ]

I went for a Montane jacket this Fall in favour of a Patagonia. Very similar in terms of style and quality

[RobeOfTheMagi]

@wjw That's right, it's the light version of Patagonia's serious cold temperature DAS belay jacket.

This season the DAS light hoody got updated with internal pockets to stow gloves or a hat away. The two-way zipper is owed to it being a belay jacket, however I don't really use it as such.

My trusty battered Nano Puff got stolen and I replaced it with the DAS light. I'd argue that this jacket can do whatever the Nano Puff can do, but better. It's more wind resistend and warmer. Not really a jacket for high output activities since it's not really breathable. It's funny how light it is for its warmth.

I cannot recommend this jacket enough.

PS: This season's version has also been updated with a waist draw cord. Around town I wear as you can see in the picture. For belaying or just for standing around in the cold, I could even cover my butt by loosening the draw cord.

[pechelman]

@RobeOfTheMagi how's the sizing compared to IH on this?

[RobeOfTheMagi]

As a belay jacket it runs rather large. I went for a looser fit. I wear a large but I could also wear a medium for a more fitted look - I am about 180cm and 80kg.
