REI carries that brand and if you thought North Face jackets were expensive, you ain't seen nothing. Windbreakers go in 3-400 dollar range.

Arc'teryx does make really high quality gear. I'll give them that. I had a climbing backpack made by them about 10 years ago. That thing took as much of a beating that one could dish out. Unfortunately, it took a ~1000 foot plunge off the East face of the Diamond in Colorado after some miscommunication about handing off the pack in 60 mph winds. I looked in the boulder fields for a few hours the next day, but never found it. Fortunately, it only contained 2 bottles of water and some PBJs at the time of its flight.

That's all this one is! It's a SHELL, not an insulated coat.

Those jackets are the Bombdigggity. I'm waiting on my Wild Things jacket now. Its along the same lines as these Arc'teryx jackets, but I got a little inside discount on it.

For that much money, it had better bring a deer in and make it stop for me....plus drag it out of the woods.

Egads! The boy I took hunting Sunday night shot his deer while wearing his grandpas old army jacket and a pair of jeans. Glad he didn't know he needed the expensive gear to hunt! \:\)
