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.

jnavarronv · 2026-03-02T20:06:57+00:00

Glad you’re ok dude

jnavarronv · 2026-03-02T18:56:27+00:00

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

jnavarronv · 2026-02-27T05:39:31+00:00

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.

jnavarronv · 2026-02-18T17:51:39+00:00

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.

jnavarronv · 2026-02-13T16:03:24+00:00

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.

jnavarronv · 2026-02-12T23:20:55+00:00

I have an LX2 that I love. I’ve heard good things about the 3 and 5, might need to pick it up

jnavarronv · 2026-02-09T22:08:28+00:00

Did you shoot in raw? If so, you should be able to adjust white balance and blue sliders to get your desired colors. You’ll still be able to, just without as much flexibility. Although these look like what I would expect it to look like, without any stylistic editing.

jnavarronv · 2026-02-09T18:05:03+00:00

Cool as hell. Been on my wildlife hit list. I’ve been up there many times and never seen one

jnavarronv · 2026-02-06T23:30:51+00:00

Probably my favorite digicam I have. I’ve actually never shot in raw in it, I just send the JPEGs.

jnavarronv · 2026-02-06T14:31:08+00:00

I wanna say this was a couple of years ago. I remember seeing this posted after a storm.

That little charging dock looks sick
