First Lady Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 I had a look at the jackets on line and I like the Arc'teryx Gamma MX... maybe if you let the guys know what type of jacket it is for they might respond ... I had to check what you were talking about

I had to check what you were talking about Hi Lisa...I like the Gamma MX too and will most likely pull the trigger. I appreciate you looking them up and giving your opinion. I want a 3 season wind and water resistant jacket for mountain biking, training and even casual wear. I hope you and Frank are well...hopefully see you guys again soon in NY...it's been too long since your last visit.
jadawin Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Arc'teryx makes some great jackets. Another brand to check out is Mountain Hardwear, i really like their gear.

jadawin Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Soft shell jackets are a water resistant, usually insulated layer. They breathe better than fully waterproof shells (hard shells) and are great for layering under a hardshell jacket in cold weather.
Ken Gargett Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 understood. so very much like the merino undergear i wear fishing (for which rob so callously castigated me). very light yet very warm and also dries in a minute if you do get wet. yours looks a little more sophisticated.
