[at-l] Re: [HATT] Re: Jacket

[Orange Bug <orangebug74@yahoo.com>]

I have one. It did well on my recent trip to NYC and a few cool nights,
but hasn't had a real cold experience yet. I don't think it will
replace a TNF fleece for hiking, as it doesn't have pitzips or related
features. However, it looks good, has the HATT 2000 logo, and great
memories involved. It is a fairly heavy fleece, but not water or
windproof. 

What I'd like to see next year is a silnylon HATT 2001 poncho. I think
I would use that forever, after leaving my better rain gear before my
section this year.
