winter protection

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

just to prove there is life beyond "The North Face", some alternative winter wear. i do like some of the tnf jackets, just a bit too liddy for me though. cal mentioned helly hansen the other day, which itself got chav'd a few years back and seems to have survived the experience, at one time fake HH was so available that the only people that ended up buying the real gear were the ones who were using it for it's intended purpose.
the berghaus bubble

i have a Kappa bubble coat, down filled so warm as toast.

mountain equipment changabang, sounds like a 1/2 time proposition.

although £270 for a kagoul seems a bit pricey.
this bubble looks a better deal as is 90%down for £90

the apparently "rust brown" is [Poor language removed] though as it's red to my eye.

another offering from Patagonia


apparently regatta/hi-tec have come up with some new fabric which is gonna make goretex the new donkey jacket material, it'll keep you warm and dry yet somehow let your sweat out faster than goretex and more efficiently.
just what you want lads when your chatting a bird up down the 051, dressed for the ice hotel, and she can smell last nights kebab oozing out of your jacket as you sweat your knackers off. and no doubt pastie pits if you've been down sayers for your brunch.

i thought it was going to be a next one then, i nearly added that 2 of the warmest coats i've had have been next ones.
i aquired a great one in oslo airport, someone boarded the plane and left a jacket next to me, perfect fit and some fancy survival suit material, dont know what it was worth but a wool hat was about £30 over there in the airport.

Patagonia man here...(although a bit pricey and tech-y for poncing around in Liverpool city centre, I would have thought).

Your one is on offer on the European site at 159 Euros, I think (if it's a Rubicon).

This one is the more full-on down (and in the right colours):

(I can recommend the Storm Jacket if you're doing proper outdoors stuff - I've had two for years - and the Rimaye - also on offer - is great for clearing snow and tooling around the place in the winter. Layers are the way, if not as trendy as Michelin Man.)
