[at-l] new n2s technology

[jsmith at wate.com (James N. Smith)]

I've just begun to try out one of those. Sierra Trading Post has a decent
price on the Mountain Hardware version, and thanks to an extra 20% off
special they ran recently I couldn't pass it up.

I too have a Marmot Driclime windshirt, so I will be testing in the coming
months to see which I like better. I wore the windshirt last winter when
backpacking in temps even into the 20s. So long as I generated enough heat
from hiking it was perfect.

>From what I've read about the N2S fabric though, it appears it should be a
bit more water repellent and at least as breathable. I like it so far, but
I've only worn it after a couple hikes to ward off evening chill.

Hey gang,

Looking for gear for an upcoming winter trip in the smokies and wonder what
experience anyone has with the new Next to Skin (N2S) technology that
Marmot and Mountain Hardwear (and ???) are using?  Basically, I want to
know to what temperature ballpark can this be an only layer.  I have the
marmot dryclime windshirt and have been pretty happy with it by itself down
to about 40.

Anybody got one of these new shirts yet?

Thanks,
Marty
