no Coreskin for me
I've made my decision
I am saving my husband nearly one hundred dollars and keeping the Patagonia R1 Granulated Jacket.
Why you ask?
Well - I'm going to show you...
FIRST -
cut of sleeve...
R1 above - very groovy, street urchin-like cut of sleeve, makes me feel all goth-ski-ish.
Coreskin below -
while the rubber velcro grippy thing is neat, it is far too sporty. I don't do sporty.
Also, I DON'T LIKE BEING CONSTRICTED. ANYWHERE.
Next -
the Coreskin seems to be sprinkled with random pull tabs.
What am I supposed to do with the one on the back of the neck?
Hang my keys from it I guess.
You know what else is no good?
IT'S SHINY. And it makes noise.
I need to be all stealthy in the supermarket. Cause, you know, sometimes I'm a spy.
I can't be rustling around the produce.
More random tie wraps at the ass part -
and speaking of ass parts...
I cannot even CAPTURE THE GLORY that is the ass part of the R1.
See how I can't capture it?
I CAN get a damn fine photo of the camera though, can't I?
We need a new camera...but before we can consider THAT, we have some Tuvaluan swamp REAL ESTATE we need to unload.
Ahem.
The R1 has a pocket ON THE SLEEVE.
Which is a good place for the cell phone.
(remote shown for scale)
The Coreskin has a pocket on the breast. I don't need any further bulking in that area.
It is black. Inside and out. For when I star in Ocean's Thirteen.
It is more discreetly logo-ed.
So.
To sum up:
groovy, black, stealthy, ass part.
I think it's going to work out just fine.
And Hugh's all what are you talking about Coreskin? YOU are an R1 kind of woman.
See?

the pulls at neck and ass-part are to keep snow out. and the lower ass part is so your hiney crack isn't exposed when you bend over to adjust your telemark bindings. or when your sitting a cold belay.
now I am going shopping with my $200 patagonia gift card!
see ya!

I thought of your photos of women ageing beautifully on Saturday night when I saw this woman in concert:

and I HATE THE NAME! Names do matter you know.
No rustling in the produce.
Or else:
Cover is blown and target must be disengaged.
And Badger - you could do a dominant palm reading.
