The Jacket

Pat has always HATED my skiing jacket. It has been my winter jacket since Purdue. My father purchased it before I left because it apparently got lots colder there then in Rochester, as a good father he didn't want me to freeze to death on the way to class, or more likely he did not want me skipping class because it was too cold. It is a very warm jacket with tons of pockets.

It is mostly shapeless and very long. Pat insists that his dislike is not so much a fashion statement but a practicality issue. The jacket is not designed for skiing and is hindering my movement according to Pat. This year I have committed to purchasing a new jacket for skiing. I finally found 2 that I like (3 actually), they are by Obermeyer. The first 2 are the same design but I'm, trying to choose between blue and black the third is almost 100 more then the others and is blue but would match both brown and black which would be nice.

My current mission is to find either on sale. Conveniently leaving me one last season with my black jacket.
