  In case you didn't know... Im an addict to urlLink Patagonia gear. It started in college when I worked at a fairly large outdoor urlLink shop .
Anyway, I just got the new catalog in the mail, when I saw urlLink this ... I can imagine that is a pretty cool jacket, I have the Retro X jacket, which they don't make anymore, but is just like the new one except without a hood.
It's the black one every calls my yak fur. It's so warm and its windproof too. The first day I got it, I drove with the windows down in 20 degree weather. It's hard, if not impossibly materalistic, to rationalize $185 on a jacket. I got my Retro X on sale. A constant battle of mine is to stay focused on lifestyle choices that are consistent with what I believe about our mission here and how God wants us to steward our resources.
