Even though I haven't purchased one (yet)..any of Patagucci's Vests(Nano Puff and/or Down Sweater Vest) look pretty versatile... day in & day out = everywhere...if you have the other stuff to keep the arms warm...that is...on a non-snow day. $.01.

The collar on it came up around my eyeballs. I like to stay zipped all the way up, so that was a bit of a problem for me. Nice jacket, though, just not for me.

For me it was just the L fit like an XL and the medium was too small.

No but I tried a Mammut on that I absolutely loved... Fit was great..... A bit pricey though. I think it was over 5 bones

Check out ClimbHigh.com. They have some Mammut stuff left. You can also see if anyone has it online.....

this was the mammot .... the color was that a lil bit excessive

I like to look for a deal as much as the next guy, but I also recognize if I've got the right thing in my hands sometimes it's worth the extra bucks.

I tried on a lot of jackets lately and found one by a manufacturer I never heard of before that fit me well. The price was $350. I went home, looked online and found last year's model for $159- the Eider "Wesson" jacket. Found it on sale at evo.com. Fits perfectly, it has all the features I wanted.

In going with the Holiday college rage...there's a green one by either Oakley or Orage:dontknow:..(much nicer shade than the lime(ie snot)-green)...there's an "O" on the upper end of the zipper's outside flap.
Snowmonster...have you seen yet?
