I'm looking for a jacket that has:

pit zips
handwarmer pockets
internal pockets
slim fit
small

The Spruce Run looked perfect a couple of months ago, but now that I've finally gotten around to maybe purchasing it, it looks like it's no longer going to be sold or something?

There's only one size and one color left of this versatile jacket...

That's a shame. I admired that in a store, but it's a couple ounces lighter than my thermawrap (probably due to the sleeve zips) so I had no need for it. Maybe it will be back in the fall?

BabyBunny,

Did you check - REI_ outlet.com to see if they are selling it there. Also check a used gear sale.

Same thing almost happen to me last year, I pick up the second to last Brunton NOVA stove since they were no longer carrying them.


Good Luck on find this.

Mike

It's not on REI Outlet, and I don't have any used gear sale places in Ohio <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Any other jackets (fleece or fill) that have the combination of features in my original post?

Baby,

Do you know how to sew?

If so, have you thought of making your own. Thru-hiker does sell some kits and you could add the pit zipper yourself.

I learned how to sew from a book -Singer Activewear sewing Book and alot of Walmart $1 bin material.

Tip:Don't practice with ripstop/ Silnylon, just use cheap nylon at first.


If you don't sew check Patagonia's or Northface's website I have seen what you are looking for a few year back.

Also post in the lite gear or selling section of what you are looking for.

Mike
