Does anyone actually own one of these things? Know anybody that does? Ever seen one "live." $2200.00 for a jacket seems a bit pricey to me. Not XCR or anything - it's made out of some spydertec shit. Backcountry has sold about 10 since Christmas - who the Hell buys these things??
If you want to be warm and don't require gloves: Go to Campmor.com and get some Dachsteins (25 bucks). Then go to eBay and get some Outdoor Research or TNF Gore -Tex shells (25 bucks). Put the two together and go climb Everest. Thread closed.
