I know you guys hate these theclymb.com announcements... but this is too good a deal to keep to myself.

Right now they have the Millet LTK GTX Jacket for $180.

This is the lowest price I have ever seen for a gore tex active shell jacket.

They also have Salomon gear including the minim shell which I like. Plus millet technical packs.

...REI had the Adidas Terrex Active Shell jacket for the same price including shipping a while back :)

That jacket I really liked, except for the fact that they didn't use a waterproof zipper. Really?

But I agree this Millet seems like a great deal if you buy into Gore AS.

The Gore AS is a great WPB fabric. About as breathable as they come, and comfortable. Remains to be seen how well the fabric holds up over the years, but it doesn't seem too fragile. I use an arc beta fl.
