Arc'teryx Alpha LT Jacket - Women's

I wouldn't say so. It's very light weight, super packable, water proof, and breathable. Looks like a great rain/all around jacket to me.

That's going to be a no. It will only accept the better of the two discounts. That would be sweet though, 25% off of an already 40% discounted item! I think BC would be loosing some money at that point.

Yes they can! So long as the two bags are both made within about 5 years, that shouldnt be a problem! The only thing you might see, is they are different lengths, then you're going to see some extra zipper hanging around, but that isnt the biggest deal.

Rating for this product: 3 April 29, 2009

After using a few times, I noticed that the bottom side was beginning to wear away; holes, rips, tears. It's really light weight, but not very durable. Luckily these aren't too expensive.
