It's a little early to be worrying about cold weather gear in Virgina, but I like to be prepared. I decided on a Kilimanjaro jacket by First Gear. I liked the layers, combined with the outer shell rain and wind protection. I really wanted to buy this from the local dealer, but they are selling the item for $299. Revzilla had the same jacket online for $199. I would have spent $25 more to purchase it from the local dealer, but I could not justify paying $100 more. I ordered the jacket yesterday at 2pm. The jacket arrived today at noon! AMAZING shipment time! I did go back to the dealer and purchased a pair of First Gear Khatmandu pants today just to finish off the set and make me feel better for supporting the local shop. (I know the jacket and pants are from a separate line, but I liked both, so I'm good with it). I'm leaning toward just getting Frogg Leggs as opposed to true waterproof shoes, but haven't yet decided...
I can't post a review, but maybe some forum members who own this jacket and/or pants would be kind enough to give me their oppinion of the gear?
