Altrec.com is clearing out the Recon waterproof hard shell from The North Face at 50% off. If I needed another waterproof jacket this one would be on my list at any price - and for $125 it would be a no-brainer to buy. The Recon is extra durable with 3-ply waterproof fabric everywhere and fused seams to save the weight of stitching and seam-seal tape. The North Face sows off their new technology of fusing seams by making them gray - which is a bit ugly, but just enough to make the jacket look cooler. They’ve also kept the traditional pit zips, instead of using those long front pocket-chest-shoulder vents that seem to screw up the fit. One thing I really like about this jacket though, the hood is removable so if it’s snowing or just cold and not raining you don’t have to keep tucking the hood down all day.
Also, a bit more of a discount with free groung shipping on this jacket or any other Altrec order of $45 or more and no sales tax outside of Washington state.
