westcomb specter lt event jacket @ REI on 12/31/2011 14:25:55 MST Print View

i found one on the rack, was intrigued because it was discounted from $300 to $200. anyone know about this jacket? 11oz 3 ply event jacket with a 4 way hood, three pockets, and reinforced elbows seems like a deal to me at $104!

PS: I did of course buy the jacket at that price with the rei guarantee. was super impressed with all the bells and whistles for only 11oz. and felt very strong, much stronger than my gortex paclite. especially in the reinforced areas.

MY FAVORITE SHELL! on 12/31/2011 14:29:54 MST Print View

BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!!! I HATE to buy gear at retail and this was one of the few items I possess that I bought new, on sale. My favorite shell that I own and I have a couple of other heavier duty eVent shells that hardly get used because of this one. GET IT!!! I've never seen it that cheap either, ever!
