I’ve had a couple of decent jackets over the last 20 years. Had some junk too. Wife bought me a frogg toggs set for Christmas that lasted one trip and the pants failed badly. The Columbia is good stuff, just haven’t found the right one at the right time yet. REI has good stuff but some of it carries a price. I’ve given up on the under $100 pieces as they all fail is some respect when I need them most. My next set will have bib type britches, the elastic kind always slide down.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
