I’ve always had great luck with these polertec apex design winners and I just ordered the arcteryx hercules jacket for myself and my wife. That thing looks sick and I know we’re gonna love em! I got 10% off at moosejaw using the moose coupon code, which saved me 65 bucks. No where else can you get a discount on the 2008 arcteryx gear. I’ll probably also order the marmot long underwear, but needed to give the credit card a breather after spending almost 600 on the jackets.
