Thread: Jacket, what would you choose?

If its the one im thinking of they gave one too @sambnz to try during the Tahr ballot before they released them.. That the one Sam?

Macpac are having a 30% sale at the moment. I picked up a clearance resolution jacket for $250. It's not that light but it is 3/4 length.

Cheers @MassiveAttack, just checked their site and they said that they only have them in 2XL. I'll call in to the store and check though. the down side to being 6'6 haha

Maybe you could buy a tent and cut some arm holes in it?

To be fair, its probably still a lot lighter than most of the 'hunting' brand jackets. They generally seem to make them as heavy as possible, with soft outer layers to soak up extra weight when it rains.

Haha mate i have done the rubbish bag with holes cut in it a few times. Cheap and dirty and lasted the 48hours needed haha

Swazi online store only has them left in medium so if thats your size then get in there. Price is $399.99 which is a steal

Kuiu Yukon Jacket.

Just spent the weekend in the Kaimanawa tops, freezing my ass off. This jacket was excellent, performed exactly as described. I lived in it. PM if you want more info.

That kuiu yukon looks bloody nice. PM sent

Yeah mate, Yukon is the go.

@hotsoup Cheers for the info. I have a sister at stanford uni so I will get in touch with her about shipping it

Sweet as, you won't regret it. I'm 6ft 83KG and ordered medium.

By the way, this jacket only goes down to your waist. Isn't the 'long coat' style. I far prefer shorter, much more comfortable IMO.

yeah i saw that. i'll trade that for the pockets
