Re: Re: OK, I think I want a Patagonia Houdini Full-Zip instead I think always always go for a hood if you can afford the extra money they are. Also they usually scrap together a full or at least large zip, the 1/4 size is pretty much only used for making the ... |

Smartwool Midweight Lomgsleeve Zip This thing is absolutely phenomenal. Between rolling the sleeves up and the zip, I'm comfy hiking from 80 to about 40 with just the base layer, and down to about 30 or 25 with a rain jacket. Use... |
