The good ole' 1990s!PROS: Warm, Waterproof, Durable, Secure, Works well with harness(minimal to no bunching) Retro-cool look, eBay Price: You can get one of these for under $150.
CONS: Fit is tricky (My medium had a very tight waist, but everything else fit), Heavy and hot (once its on you and the temps rise forget about it, vent zips don't help that much),
Retail Price: at $699! Woowzers!
