Goretex jacket modification

MEC appear to have stopped making their Goretex pants which is a bummer because I just broke mine.

looking for a technical BIG puffy for -30 temps and they don't make one … wtf do they make ?

Arc'teryx always seems so pricey….

I'm beginning to wonder and I've been pretty MEC loyal.

Ugh, sad state of affairs in there these days (I live near the Broadway store in Vancouver). I still find it hilarious they are selling Intense bikes.

Always the fart bag option.

I kinda want that daffy sweater.

Metro Equipment Coop?

I wouldnt modify the beta ar. Go for a cheapie 2nd jkt. The beta ar will also get less use and last longer so its a wash in the end.

are you lift skiing? IME I can ski lifts in practicaly anything as long as it keeps me warm

so I bought a new MEC lift skiing jacket 40% off for only 159$

touring is different and I go all soft shell

so this^^ one just came in the mail, I'm 5'8" 33inch sleeve so I got the medium, it has a roomy fit, cut pretty long and has a VERY skookum powder skirt with a 4 snap closure and a rubberized strip to keep it from riding up the ass of your pants SO I could never see your ass or back getting cold or even any snow getting past the skirt when you fall in the snow

On one side an inner goggle pocket/ on the other side a big inner breast pocket/ 2 outer breast pockets/ 2 big hand pockets, zippers are good enough looking quality, pit zippers with cloth backing when open/ big hood but not big enough for a helmet, I ran some water over the fabric of the sleeve and it beaded off so probably some kind of gortex like knock-off, the brown color is fugly [HTML_REMOVED] boring but so what … we are here to ski

I don't think it was worth its original price but at only 159$ its not a bad deal and with all the features it should be perfect for lapping the O-zone … I am gona keep it
