Hello guys. So, this year, I've decided on getting a new winter jacket, as my last one seems to have failed miserably in just two years. Despite the water and windproof label, I've gotten soaked multiple times in my last jacket (Columbia waterproof/windproof shell and warmer that zips in). The first time was helping shovel alongside an ex
Basically, old man winter kicked my rear on that one.
So this year, I'm trying to find a jacket that won't get soaked through at all until several hours in, and is very windproof. New England winters and all, I'm leaning towards a Patagonia Nano Storm jacket at the moment and then layering a warmer under it during winter; the jacket alone should do for Spring/Autumn. Perhaps some DIY'd bracers cut from worn out gloves to help keep the wrists warm too. Aside from that though, any suggestions for such jackets you guys have? North Face is generally out the window here. Sadly, I had to pick between this or a set of new headphones. My sense of staying warm won. Seems early for this, but oh well.
