My trusty old Mountain equipment shell has finally given up working, so ive spent the last week or two trawling around for deals on a new shell jacket. things are expensive and ebay deals are a thing of the past. ive a few patagonia bits and bobs that i really like and have been looking at their jackets esp the primo, bit too much tho. today i was in tetbury, gloucestershire and walked into a charity shop(havent done that for a while) and there on the rack is a new patagonia primo jacket in red, in my size! £8! WTF…this is the second time this has happened, last year i was after a soft shell jacket and liked the arcteryx ones, but way too pricey. a while later i pop into a charity shop and there is a new gamma soft shell in my size!
