thats the thing, I stumbled across them at our local sportsmans warehouse. its not even on the retail list. I might just go buy them out, cause the jackets I saw there were only 60 bucks. I am a jacket freak, and these jackets easily compared too (by look and feel) any north face, or columbia titanium jackets, which go for 200-400 bucks.

Just curious if anyone actually has a jacket by them, and if they are as durable and warm as they look!

I have seen some up here but haven't heard anything. Carharts are still the weapon of choice against the cold up here.
