I am not a big fan of shells in general although some of the newest materials are enticing. <br /><br />Some nice jackets in this bunch and likely we'll have weather conditions that will test them and us. <br /><br />What I am really interested in is what we come up with for opinions on each garment between the three of us.<br /><br />I've used about everything. Doug almost nothing new in a few years and I have yet to quizz Lee on what he has used. That should make some interesting feed back for all of us.Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300760603627210620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-74515103121134212772011-09-28T14:23:58.922-07:002011-09-28T14:23:58.922-07:00Really interested to see about the Arc Acto and Pa...Really interested to see about the Arc Acto and Patagonia knife blade. However I do think you need to add a control - bring along your current favorite jacket based current technology. Because for my part I'm interested not just in how these new guys compare against each other, but also if they are really such a big improvement over the current state of the art.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-2286416917362480752011-09-28T12:57:09.155-07:002011-09-28T12:57:09.155-07:00Julian, I asked, we'll see.Julian, I asked, we'll see.Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300760603627210620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-27668356786981079122011-09-28T12:56:07.336-07:002011-09-28T12:56:07.336-07:00Hey Dane, I know you've had a good relationshi...Hey Dane, I know you've had a good relationship with Sherpa Adventure Gear in the past (judging from some previous blog posts). Any chance you can get and review the Lungta Hybrid jacket as part of this? Their description of it makes it sound like a stretchy hard/soft shell hybrid. I have one on the way from SteepAndCheap, and would be curious to hear some comparisons to other jackets before I decide whether or not to take it to Colorado this winter.Julianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418359111867504412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-71435663680043131622011-09-28T10:59:59.426-07:002011-09-28T10:59:59.426-07:00I hope Rab sends you some gear!They aren't beh...I hope Rab sends you some gear!They aren't behind the times, Rab's using neoshell now.

A few companies that I think should be there, that are not. Rab included.<br /><br />The original idea was the "newest"<br />stretch, water proof shells. That has morphed into what you see. No secret early on what I was planning on field testing. <br /><br />I have still have room for a couple more jackets if anyone out there wants a speciifc brand or material tested with this group. They just need to be here by Oct 5th.Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300760603627210620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-49430565351080424512011-09-28T06:53:36.920-07:002011-09-28T06:53:36.920-07:00Hi Dane, so first off, thanks for doing this massi...Hi Dane, so first off, thanks for doing this massive gear comparison that I'm sure will be more in depth, meticulous, and rugged than anything the climbing mags will put out. <br /><br />Your selection of jackets is pretty comprehensive, but I'm wondering why there's no Rab gear? The Alpine Jacket looks like a solid, light, simple soft shell and the Baltoro has looked good to me too. Is it because they're using "old" fabrics and this test is all about the new generation?Jaynoreply@blogger.com
