You really do love pushing the looks kool thing on people. I'd rather have a puke green jacket that works... I'll take the ugliest things as long as they work.

Really it depends on where you live... for the most part though, 10k/10k should be okay. In places with much wetter snow, or a rainier season, 15k might not be a bad idea.

I'm not saying that you should buy something that looks kool and doesn't work. I'm just saying if you are torn between two things of very similar quality you might as well get something YOU think looks kool...lol

If you gots the money, arcteryx is the brand i'd go with. Get a theta ar, or sidewinder sv. Search E-bay they usually have them for abut 150 or more below retail.

Light weight, quality construction, quality materials & keeps me dry & breaths well.

I'd also recommend Arc'teryx gear.
I have the Alpha LT jacket & I've been nothing but impressed with it.
Another brand to look into would be Westcomb.
I haven't used any gear from them but I've heard nothing but good things.
