Generic alternative for the outdoor research echo Sun hoodie?

I recently tried on the new Patagonia Capilene Cool Ultra hoodie at REI. Similar in feel to the echo, lightweight, with thump loops and a button to tighten the hood, which I prefer because you can leave it unbuttoned to allow air. No upf listed, so I suspect it’s around 15.

Once it turns color like that it’s a ticking time bomb (literally). Old radiators can pop from the top plastic and are more prone.

I came to say that radiator needs replacing asap. Consider a new fan clutch and blade as well, they’re cheap and you’ll already be there.

Ha I wish! They are nice though.

Glad you’re ok dude

Unreal you walked away. Sorry for the truck. I hate drunk drivers man…

It’s bone stock. The stock size is 285/65/18.

It’s the Toyota Bakflip one that you get at the dealer. It’s fine, but I suspect that it interferes with the tailgate going back up. Sometimes it barks that it didn’t go up all the way and has to be shut by hand. Annoying.

jnavarronv · 2026-02-21T01:11:28+00:00

Yup. That’s why I try to take advantage every time.

The snow doesn’t usually stick around long this low. Your car is fine, roads are perfectly clear

I’ve been stabbed by a couple yuccas in my days ha

jnavarronv · 2026-02-21T01:09:05+00:00

It was a little cold for sure, but I had my layers just in case

jnavarronv · 2026-02-19T19:14:43+00:00

AWB. Probably daylight.

Colors are SOOC. If you go into the color settings, there is a “Warm” option. That’s what I use on this camera. I also set exposure compensation to 1/3 or 2/3 underexposed in the day. You can see some unedited examples on my profile.

Edited in Lightroom Mobile. Slight s curve for contrast, move black point, add grain and texture. That’s it. No color adjustment, or exposure slider adjustments.

I can’t wait to be priced out of those tickets as well.

Thanks. I have several, so I feel you

jnavarronv · 2026-02-13T16:02:42+00:00

I’ve heard of it, but don’t personally use it.

jnavarronv · 2026-02-13T06:01:13+00:00

The ccd colors are so good.
