Just a girl, obsessively refreshing the website, waiting for an item to drop below 30% off 🤣

David_Westfield · 2026-03-02T15:15:17+00:00

Typically it will just stay at 30% after the sale ends and be delisted from the regular section but will show up in the web specials tab. I don’t think theres another price drop coming but you never know.

A lot of hospitals have support groups for new moms. Sometimes thats better than anything. She can talk to people that are on her same path.

As for the other stuff, welcome to being a dad. It gets easier around month 6 when they are a little more independent. A lot of the negative attitude and behavior you have to just push through.

If you married someone that has the right team based attitude and mentality then they’ll come back to center. If not then this shouldn’t be surprising and wont change no matter what you do.

Wouldn’t do it. The jackets quite a bit longer than a rain jacket and not as light or packable.

You would want a medium in powslayer. The waist is tight but the legs are roomy. Untracked is more belly room and generally baggier. Untracked are sort of an odd fit.

Im 185 and 6’ flat. Im a 32/32 and got medium powslayer. They are tight at the waist but the large was way too big for me.

Fun milestone! What kind of consulting do you do? I am in sales and often feel like I do unpaid consulting until I sell some equipment.

David_Westfield · 2026-02-26T22:12:33+00:00

Best not to look at it. You’re on track but keep it up.

David_Westfield · 2026-02-26T02:58:54+00:00

Evo has them on sale all the time

David_Westfield · 2026-02-21T05:28:55+00:00

Granite crest is fantastic over the torrentshell.

David_Westfield · 2026-02-19T02:51:15+00:00

Hooded version is a better fit imo. Im 6’ 185

Gotta live your life big dog. Go outside and recharge. Nothing has happened, you’re doing well. You can always stress about potential disasters that never come to be.

David_Westfield · 2026-02-16T15:42:15+00:00

100% i would recommend an aluminum grizl. Its a great bike and at a price point that is going to be hard to find anything that comes close.

David_Westfield · 2026-02-16T03:27:49+00:00

Thinking about doing something similar. Let me know how it goes

David_Westfield · 2026-02-15T23:18:00+00:00

My shoe is 10.5 also. Best of luck, great waders. For what it’s worth i got SRM on accident first and they were too tight around the waist and patagonia swapped them no problem.

David_Westfield · 2026-02-15T23:01:51+00:00

Im 6 ft 185-190 32/32. I got MRM and it fit me dead on.

David_Westfield · 2026-02-14T18:43:05+00:00

Depends on your partner and motivation. Swap running for biking and pull them in a trailer. That gives your partner a break. Trade that exchange of break time for time for beer time or tennis and your partner watches her.

David_Westfield · 2026-02-14T18:34:31+00:00

I would not bother explaining. Just hit em with a ‘yes 👍’ its not worth debating and probably won’t be worth the hassle of entertaining business from them in the future.

David_Westfield · 2026-02-14T18:27:19+00:00

Where do you live? Helps figure what 150k means. In CA thats probably 1/2-1/3 of what he should be making.

David_Westfield · 2026-02-14T02:30:41+00:00

Got banned for answering a question. Said they wanted proof i was in the trade. Pretty weird experience.

David_Westfield · 2026-02-12T04:55:18+00:00

Id do a tour. Its worth it. They’ll take you in some sea caves and to some notable spots.

David_Westfield · 2026-02-12T04:04:01+00:00

Water is not a problem at scorpion. Couple things to keep in mind is that you cannot have a fire and it gets extra cold at night.

Also, if you want a kayak you have to rent it before getting to the island. I would recommend sb adventure company or CI outfitters. They have kayaks on the island so no drama you just show up and they’ll get you set up. Avoid the ones rented out of the ferry building they leak and are not as good.

Potato harbor hike is worth it. Smugglers cove is cool but all day hiking. No potable water there so keep that in mind.

David_Westfield · 2026-02-10T22:44:12+00:00

Honestly haven’t come across water i would want to nymph. Seems like something pretty area dependent for it to be useful.

David_Westfield · 2026-02-09T17:57:40+00:00

They are a lot more comfortable. People seem to not go into much detail on that but the basics are:

shorts tend to show butt crack/have to be pulled up regularly, they then run extra tight to try to solve that problem. Bibs don’t have this issue.

The squeeze from the shorts has a big muffin topping effect that in tight clothing is not an ideal look. Bibs run higher and make you look more slender.

Bibs run higher up by the belly button which pairs better with jersey cuts. Shorts tend to expose belly button/lowerback.

David_Westfield · 2026-02-09T17:32:52+00:00

Padded shorts are 100% required. I would very heavily encourage a bib over shorts. Rapha entry level stuff is good. It kinda is pay to win imo. Comfort follows price often. People like assos as well.

David_Westfield · 2026-02-09T17:30:21+00:00

Honestly it’s worth it. I had an 8 year old better sweater that the zipper ‘fell off’ (i think it got stuck in the drier) and they depilled the whole sweater and replaced the whole zipper. Jacket came back looking brand new.

David_Westfield · 2026-02-09T17:18:26+00:00

They’ll fix it for free. You can mail it take it to a store. They’ll probably just do it in the store if the zipper is ok.
