yeah i mean, if they were both the same price i wouldnt hesitate - id grab the deck jacket. but at 500 usd the duck is a sweet deal, kiya also said that the difference in warmth wasnt that big either. but yeah, leaning towards the deck!

i appreciate the inputs!

I'm sure Kiya knows what he's talking about but I can't even imagine a blanket style insulation approaching the warmth of my alpaca lined deck. It is straight up toasty.

[Peter]

im definitely in the mood for toasty! historically speaking, except for the m65 last year, i really suck at buying jackets..

Anyone else having problems with pictures not displaying?  Tapatalk seems to think they're all .gifs (even though the html code clearly shows that they are .img files). Then when I try to access the forum through the internet, they're just blank.

I'm using my phone, with Android 4.1.2, by the way.

Hm… an .img file isn't for that kind of image, that's typically a disk image, a file that abstracts a logical volume...

[Chris]

Sorry, I meant the html code for the attachment was [ img ], not [ gif ].  Files themselves are .jpg, which is standard.  Doesn't matter anyway, everything is working properly now.

Sounds like a cloud to me!

im gonna spray my field jacket and incoming deck jacket with some waterproofing spray. are there any opinions regarding this? best brands, versions etc. currently looking at fibertec cotton guard and nikwax cotton proof.

I used Jack Wolfskin, it worked a treat on my deck and my Res Hood.

Top tip is to spray at least 6 inches away from the fabric or you get white marks, have to clean your jacket quickly, and then start all over again.

I'm planning on using Nikwax Cotton Proof on my new deck jacket, and will either apply by brush or use one of those plant sprayer/mister bottles. There's a good (recent) explanation in the old IHM-03 thread, but I haven't worked out how to link to it so you'll have to find it yourself

I wish. I've always wanted to see them for NYE at MSG. If I'm still on the east coast next year maybe I'll try to go.

I like the snow, it's a forum xmas tradition 

[Snowy]

Appears to be gone now :).

(PS i'd be down with it for a few days around Christmas itself, the entire month is a bit much tho).

[derivative666]

^agreed I love the snow!!!

[Megatron1505]

Ok, who turned off the snow?

[Giles]

I asked Peter to.  It will come back on later in the month….
