Behold the Rabness!!!

Yeah. its summer alright. Our crazy monsoon season seems to have come to a close and we’re now moving into a pretty standard, blistering hot August. That said, I’d like to take a moment to talk about down jackets, soft shell jackets, and of course heavy-duty hard-shell jackets.

I know, it seems seasonally inappropriate, but stay with me hrere. Many of us know that the one sure fire way to beat the heat this time of year is to seek higher ground. Like the other day for instance, my esteemed associate and I decided to go up to Mount Evans and do a little rock grappling. We climbed a route called Road Warrior– it was a very physical climb, and we did find ourselves sweating a little (also cursing, hyperventilating, dry-heaving and crying a little).  But the fact that it was only 65 degrees made us feel like we came out ahead.

Then once we had returned to terra-firma and the clouds started rolling in, I was suddenly quite glad that I had decided to bring my new Rab Men's MICROLIGHT Jacket. The extra 13 ounces in the pack were well worth it. As my partner and looked over the beautiful landscape and reveled in our victory, I couldn’t help but to notice that he was shivering a bit. I, on the other hand was feeling quite cozy. He started hiking like a drill sergeant in order to stay warm, while I lazily and comfortably meandered back up the steep, lush, tundra, smoking many cigarettes and greeting the adorable little marmots as I went.

Moral of the story: Sometimes it’s worth it to carry a little extra weight in the name of comfort.

Other moral of the story: We just scored a huge closeout buy on some radical Rab products that will keep you comfy when you decide to head for the high-country. We’re blowing ‘em out at 35% off retail – which means they’ll probably be gone before winter. So come get some now, and be glad you did once you’re up there.
