[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 1409016, member: 11508"] Sure, I know there's lots of discussion here and there on the board and over the years, but a couple reasons to start a new thread on the subject: First, maybe there's something new under the sun since the last go-round. Second, I wouldn't mind hearing from somebody who has a jacket they loved but don't still wear--like you gained or lost a bunch of weight, or went for something you really like better. I'm fine with buying used if it's in good shape and has all the parts, but it has to do everything I'm looking for too. So what I need is a warm and waterproof (not water [I]resistant[/I]) jacket that has some flexibility--meaning a removable warm liner and plenty of ventilation that works when it warms up. Not interested in a one-piece at all. I have a great pair of Klim pants for winter, but I want to upgrade the jacket. I'm thinking Klim again, but I'm open to considering other brands. Is anything as good as Gore-Tex, really? That can't be the ONLY waterproof material, can it? Anyway, I'd appreciate your thoughts about what you have or have had, and loved or not loved. And if you happen to have something that fits the bill you want to part with, let me know that too. I'm about 6', maybe 6'1, 215, 46 or 48 in a sportcoat. [/QUOTE]
