Rattler

Rating for this product: 2 November 4, 2009

Warning - this helmet has a distinct rattle when the vents are closed. Drove me nuts. Went to a local ski shop and checked their stock, they all rattled the same. Beautiful helmet otherwise. Returned for a G10 with no rattle.

Don't give 'em this shirt off your back

Arc'teryx Envoy Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Men's

Arc'teryx Envoy Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 8, 2008

Love these shirts - both long and short-sleeved versions. They're versatile, light weight but warm, they travel well and they're very durable. Wear 'em to work or play. Looks great too.

Bullseye

Patagonia Primo Flash Jacket - Men's

Patagonia Primo Flash Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 7, 2008

This one really impressed me. Patagonia makes great stuff (95% of Arc'teryx quality at 60% of the price) but their sizing and fit are really inconsistent (for me often too tight across the chest and shoulders) and they make a weird neck closure (all the hood loops and rubber clips end up in my mouth when I zip up all the way). This one really works however - it fits great, looks great and feels tough as nails. No pit zips though. Get a Patriot SV for cold days and this one for warmer.

Don't Bite

Cloudveil Down Patrol Jacket - Men's

Cloudveil Down Patrol Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 1 February 1, 2007

Cloudveil is a great company but they're inconsistent. They make great stuff (RPK, Serendpity, Headwall) and aweful - and this one is on the aweful side. The whole things feels low budget, from the Walmart grade shell fabric (Windstopper?!) to the cheapo cuffs and collar. And the sleeves are too short - a jacket killer for me. Leave this one and get the Enclosure Parka instead.

The Winner

Patagonia Down Patrol Jacket - Men's

Patagonia Down Patrol Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 1, 2007

Compare this to Cloudveil's jacket of the same name and it's no contest. In every way - the shell fabric, the sewing, the down, the cuffs and collar -Patagonia's quality shows. The Cloudveil Down Patrol is just a wannabe - this one really can be worn at Lake Louise in January, and for years and years.

Back to Hardshell

Marmot Storm King Jacket - Men's

Marmot Storm King Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 30, 2007

Bought this one with great anticipation but had to return it - I just wasn't warm enough. This is a lesson for any softshell user: if it breathes then it won't be windproof. I went back to a good old fashioned hardshell. Where I live and ski softshells are for spring skiing only.
