Hahaha, I said "chilly," not "cold." I've lived in cold places before; where I live now is not cold in the slightest. The Cyclical eVent jacket is a thin and light shell, not a winter jacket by a long shot.

2. of course you're going to be happy with a 300 dollar jacket you bought for 40.
Yes, I agree that the super discount is awesome. I also agree that high quality things cost good money. However, I do not really believe that the Cyclical jacket is worth $300. Maybe the eVent makes it extra expensive (cuz the stuff is pretty awesome), but for $300, I could probably find a much better jacket, such as this one:

Complete jacket all in one piece.


Space blanket-like insert.

Castelli Radiation Jacket. MSRP is $500, but findable on a number of sites for under $300. Designed for temperatures from mid 20s to mid 60s. Pretty sick technology, which would explain the price.

Ah, your favorite store (Walmart) is good at the whole economies of scale thing.
