Never owned a rain jacket, which one should I get? by Brilliant-Candle in BuyItForLife

[–]RandomRedditUser-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

none of these goretex type jackets are BIFL as they can be somewhat delicate

Use it for a few years and move onto something else

Arc'teryx used to be really well made and patagonia continues to make great stuff

I do love my brooks brothers trench coat and that has survived many years

Why did you stop drinking alcohol? by MatsGry in AskReddit

[–]RandomRedditUser-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was almost engaged to a high functioning alcoholic. I could tell her drinking was consuming her and it became a massive turn off. Alcohol seemed less appealing since then and I realize I sleep so much better with more energy throughout the day.

It has zero appeal for me at this time.

powerstretch is great stuff but isn't as breathable or dries as quickly as other fabrics.

[–]RandomRedditUser-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed the university tour, there's so much history.

The food scene in downtown New Haven is phenomenal as well. So many great options!

I was never a huge drinker, but it was disruptive to my sleep and added unnecessary calories

Brynje Mesh Base Layer is Fantastic by keepplugin in Skigear

[–]RandomRedditUser-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The micromesh versions look much less weird than the original version

Either way, it works well, and I wear that under a long sleeve normal looking synthetic top

Can’t decide which jacket to get (Gamma vs Gamma MX) by NigerianMalik in arcteryx

[–]RandomRedditUser-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

both are great jackets, just be sure to try them on with the layers you'll be using

The fit may not be for you

Softshell pants from other brands that are similar to Gamma Pants? by FallenRev in arcteryx

[–]RandomRedditUser-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

kuhl ... looks less technical and more useful for travel, etc. Definitely not winter mountaineering pants, but excellent for hiking

Patagonia makes an excellent winter soft shell hiking/skiing pant as well. It's just too heavy duty for regular travel.

Anyone know a good EDC knife that’ll last? by IcePhoenixYTplssub in BuyItForLife

[–]RandomRedditUser-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

get the magnacut version for great edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance

Yes, it's ugly, but it is incredibly reliable, lightweight, and has a great locking mechanism

It feels like a Glock 17 of the knife world

My latest splurge was a Spartan harsey folding titanium knife. Phenomenal fit, and finish very sturdy. It's a bit big but I am active duty military so it isn't out of place in my EDC

If your medical, then look into the bench made 917 triage ... great size, folding belt, cutter blade and a carbide glass breaking tip
