an email to my brother who is a NOLS kayaking instructor AS WELL AS a certified Wilderness First Responder

(regarding my outerwear)

my R1 Granulated jacket arrived. and it MAY not be warm enough - but there was a stiff wind blowing the day I field tested it, (parking lot, elev. 200) so, probably I should have put my SHELL on over it, yes?
so I called Patagucci, as you weren't avail, and they are sending me a CORESKIN to sample,
and, aside from the fact that I'm not sure I can wear something CALLED a CORESKIN - I fear I am falling in love with the styling of the R1 Granulated which has very GOTH sleeves and a wonderful ASS PART.


PLEASE ADVISE
STOP.

As it was 8 degrees (EIGHT!) when I woke up this morning at 5,800 feet, I am intimately familiar with shells and whatnot. Conveniently, there is a Patagucci outlet a mere hour away from me, and you know that I love it.

I'm delurking, by the way. I'm here through Jess at Drowning in Kids (who I also love), and find your family hysterical and your posts sweet.

anyway, hello.

This post is useless without pictures.

I am in the mid-season phase now. This is the time of year I break out the Patagucci Loud Waterproof With Pockets Everywherebutwhereyouwantthem for $400 that isnt warm enough but makes everyone look like an overpaid yuppie who longs to be on the cover of Outside Magazine.

Yeah, an avid outdoormans I am...ya think that I could get my initials embroidered on my left sleeve now?

Imagine the googlers you'll get when you post pictures of the coreskin and ass part.

Outerwear as in: to willingly sally forth into the tundra?

Madness.
