Need a new Jacket/coat
So now that I have gotten to about where I want to be, I have started to buy clothing that fits me. I need a new jacket for the up coming cold season. My Columbia is a great parka, but I bought it to cover the hubba chubba I was. I'm wanting something a bit different also, but nothing that screams tactical. I ran across one of these locally and it caught my eye. I don't know what's new on the market either though. The price was around $125, I think I can talk him down. Ideas? I don't want to get all coldey woldey.

Re: Need a new Jacket/coat
That jacket would go fabulous with those shoes
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Re: Need a new Jacket/coat
I figured I'd get a few laughs out of ya with some well placed words. What are YOU wearing rocking, looking at a new outerwear, or thinking of getting something yourself? I want something I can wear out on winter hikes, durable as I can not afford multiple jackets.

I've wore it for 2 years now and havent had any issues with it. Seems to be pretty durable to me, I'm not much on the built in "pistol" pocket as it doesnt hold your pistol all the good but it is warm enough for me and easy to wash/care for....
As for pricing they are not bad, I sell them on ebay for $76.99 & up depending on the size.
They have 2 different models too, like mine has the 100% cotton outer shell, the other is a lighter 100% polyester with fleece inner (I dont carry those yet)

Re: Need a new Jacket/coat
Well... price range? Hard shell? Soft shell? 40°>?
All I got was non-tacticool? Out of your post, so you might want be more specific in your question for recommendations?
A few brand recommendations to start, then go from there...
Columbia = Cheapest route for decent quality
5.11 = Decent price, Decent quality, various levels of Tacticool
North Face = More expensive for decent quality
Arc'teryx = Expensive, but great quality
Triple Aught Design (TAD) = Expensive, Greater Quality, with various levels of tacticool to straight greyman

Re: Need a new Jacket/coat
Hardshell if possible. I'd like something I can use hiking as well as around town. The option that the 5.11 Jacket has with sidearm accessibility is a nice feature.DDgunslinger wrote:So we taking $2 or $200.... both equal 2 dead Presidents.Toecutter1978 wrote:Hahaha!
