Outdoor Research Transcendent Hooded Down Jacket - Men's

November 1, 2011

i've always bought synthetic in the past, but am strongly considering this down jacket... now my main concern is wind retention and water-resistane. how windproof and water resistant is it? the patagonia equivalent advertises a "windproof and water-resistant polyester shell". how does this one add up in those departments? thanks!

saved me in a bad scooter accident

Backcountry.com Shift Welder Hoody - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 October 26, 2011

This jacket saved me a trip to the hospital for sure. I was riding my scooter at about 30mph on a dimly lit street and all of a sudden I was over the handlebars. My head along with my left shoulder and elbow were taking the brunt of it as I slid for about 20 feet on dirt and gravel with my 200lb scooter riding it out on top of me. As I came to a stop and struggled to get the scooter off my legs, I slowly stood up hoping for the best but expecting the worst. I could stand immediately which was great. Since I was wearing shorts, my entire left leg was scraped up really badly and was bleeding and dirty and had little rock littered inside of it. Next I checked my left arm and shoulder as I knew that had taken the worst of it. I slowly took off my jacket not knowing if something was going to pop out of place, but took it off fine and examined my elbow. It was bleeding and scraped up pretty badly, but I was surprised it wasn't worse. Upon inspecting my jacket I saw about 2 feet of abrasion streaks and dirt from my shoulder to my elbow but not a single rip, tear, or weakening of the material. Amazing. I know for a fact that if I hadn't been wearing this jacket, or had been wearing any other jacket, I would have been in the hospital getting stitches up and down my left arm. So thank for making a bomber jacket that can withstand a 30mph scooter crash. I've been riding for 7 years and have never fallen off my scooter. If I hadn't been wearing this jacket, I might have never ridden again. I loved this jacket like a child before the accident, but now we have a bond. I know I'll have this jacket forever and it'll still be just as bomber when I'm 80 years old.

what's the difference between this boot and the tornado pro aside from the material?

this pack does NOT carry skis or a snowboard... i ordered it after seeing in the tech specs that it would carry skis vertically and even after being guaranteed by the online chat dude that it would carry my skis so i went for it... sure enough it won't hold them in any way... i'm now having to return it and find another pack before i leave for my backcountry tahoe trip... hence the title of my review... bummer... might be a great pack if you don't need to carry your skis or board... for that purpose order the heli pack as it's the same thing but had a loop for a diag carry system for the skis and some horizontal straps for the board...
