Columbia OutDry Extreme Diamond Shell

$400 for a rain jacket. Not sure how many they will sell, but check out the review given by Outside magazine.
THE GOOD:
The most breathable rain jacket we’ve tested, thanks to a brand-new waterproof concept called OutDry Extreme that prevents the shell from ever wetting out. A tough, rubbery exterior is super abrasion-resistant, and it doesn’t look dirty as quickly as other shells. (More on this below.) 
THE BAD:
The aesthetics didn’t appeal to everyone. Columbia is using contrasting external seam taping and contrasting patches on the shoulders. This makes the jacket look techy, but it’s a look that not everyone loved.
THE VERDICT:
A jacket best suited for people looking to do high-output activities—think hiking, trail work, or flatwater paddling—in the rain.

Right Equipment At The Right Time! Strahlhorn secours en crevasse



Being safe is not just looking out for danger it is preparing for it before it happens. This guy in Switzerland fell into a Crevasse and had the right equipment and friend to get him out. The big thing and one of the smallest pieces of equipment that he had was an ice screw with webbing attached. He crewed it in and was safe from falling any further. I can tell you for $60 this is one piece of equipment that will be going into my bag. Be safe al the time and know the conditions before you go out.
