I think the one that really shocked me was the $550 soft shell, seems like soft shell jackets are a dime a dozen. I'm sure it's good stuff but as far as waterproof and breathability Kuiu is still rated higher and for half the price. But to each his own, I just can't imagine snagging that thing on a limb or ripping the butt on a rock while glassing, I think I'd actually cry a little.  :chuckle:

It took me a few seasons but all my gear now is kryptek. Some new and some lightly used off classified adds. Its been great gear and worth the money spent, but I got my whole rain gear set for 400.

I bought a north face jacket 20 years ago when I was  into  mountaineering. It was $400 back then and worth every penny, so $700 today doesn't seem that far off.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Just did a little research. The fabric they are using in these new jackets is intriguing the pores actually open up with internal temp change. When you are hot they open up. When you stop they close up. Making them more windproof when sitting and getting more moisture transfer while you are exerting. Way out of my league but I can always dream.
