Last year I picked up a Weather top anorak style jacket and it has become one of my favorite go to pieces. Super light and super versatile with a variety of venting options so you don't overheat. I see they have it on sale for a considerable savings.

I also see they have upgraded their micro fleece jacket. This piece is with me on every backcountry trip and I love it especially the collar design. The improvements make it much more stylish and I might have to pick up another for casual wear as well as another brand new piece >> the Therma wool top which also looks like something I might wear bouncing about town.

Might as well start the hinting process now......Christmas is right around the corner. My experience is stuff runs big, if you like a trimmer fit go one size smaller than what you would normally get.

Some thoughts on the versatac pants......I have all 3 weights......

The mid weight are a true cold weather pant that I would be inclined to wear when the weather was truly cold. I have only wore them a few times but when I did they saved my hiney. I think they would make an excellent x country ski pant.

The lights are what I wear instead of jeans (which I despise) and are probably my favorite.

The ultra lights are rip stop and my pant of choice if it is a bit warm.

Sizing can be a bit fickle.......super comfy with some elastic but like I said things run a bit on the large size.....throw in some elastic and sarcastic saggy bottom comments from your significant other might be seved up with pace and velocity. Then you have to send them back......gets complicated but if your going to drop some serious jack best be happy is the way I figure it.

Wear the versatacs in combination with the weather top for that tactical "I might be law enforcement" look. Just remember to roll down your windows and blast the hip hop if you find yourself in the wrong part of town by mistake
