Ride Delaware ? Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I was looking for a new jacket and I was looking at something like the Burton Arctic Jacket... It DOES NOT have to be a Burton, but I would like a warm winter jacket since I do most of my riding nowadays north of PA. I would prefer something without a hood. Any ideas?

Johnny Law Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) 10/5 is pretty crappy though its taped so its probably pretty waterproof. 20/20 is what you want. Orage makes some really nice pieces if you can find them and have the loot, they tend to be a bit more stylistic. Eider and Arcteryx make really really nice technical jackets, pair one of those with a Arc wookie fleece or Patagoina R3 fleece and you'll be nice and toasty down to -20 with three layers. 686 makes some nice jackets too and their smarty system is pretty versatile. Norrona makes excellent technical gear that looks more stylish than the Arc and Eider stuff, though supplies are limited as its all coming from Norway. If you have the $$$ go with a multiple jackets approach, tech shell for BC or shitty weather, and everyday jacket for normal riding and a puffy down for when its really really cold. If you pick them up in July you can save major money. Edited August 31, 2009 by Johnny Law Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride Delaware ? Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Does anybody wear a jacket that DOES NOT have a removable hood? Is it an absolute pain in the ass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootDKJ Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 The last jacket I bought was a Predatorwear. Best jacket (shell) I've ever had. Too bad they went out of business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan- Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) I won't buy a jacket if the hood is removable. Guess it's just a pet peeve. Edit- I like my hood and as for being a pain in the ass? How so? Edited September 25, 2009 by Dan- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I don't like the sound of a hood flapping behind me when I am skiing.. I always had my hood on last year...never flapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
