Sure would be nice if the local HR shops would carry more choices and options. A simple titanium vest such as these would make such a great upgrade...

Kinda scarry buying these things online without first trying 'em on. I tried on the promotion but didn't like the lack of titanium insulation and tight (one size fits all) hood fit.

If NRS at http://www.nrsweb.com/default.asp don't got it, you don't need it. If in doubt, I order multiple sizes or styles, get 'em overnight simply because they're so close, try 'em on, choose what I want, stick the rest back in their box, slap their return label on it, and stick it in my streetside mailbox. The whole process is simpler than driving from Bingen to Hood River to try stuff on, and NRS carries MUCH more stuff than Hood River does. Their return policy beats every other return policy I've seen anywhere in the last ... oh ... 50 years with the possible exception of Kokotat ... which they carry.

Alternative: drive there and pick through their discount room. You'll find great gear you never knew existed and save more than the gas it takes. I am constantly barraged with favorable comments on my NRS-unique gear.
