Wind & Waterproof gear I would definately add a Gortex/Paclite or other WB shell with a good hood and WB pants. Softshells are great but they just cannot stand up to the roaring winds on Washington. Snow, sleet, and rain... |

Soft Shell Mystery Thank you Richard for the excellent post regarding the science behind textiles and how they feel to the wearer. Your commentary on microfibers is spot on. The "coolest" feeling jacket I o... |

GoLite Phantom Jacket Wonderfully lightweight with lots of features. Repels rain, wind, and snow like a champ and the pitzips and pockets work great to ventilate. My only complaint is the hood is just too small for good co... |

Montbell Thermawrap jacket I purchased the ladies version of this jacket and love it! It is lofty, super warm, super lightweight, repels wind and light rain, and dries quickly. Here in the northeast, it has been rather cold. I&... |

Marmot DriClime I've been wearing Driclime windshirt since the early 1990's and have to say the original is still the best. The original has a lofty feel, wicks great, breaths, and repels water very well (lik... |
