Meet the Women’s Storm Shell There is a particular kind of West Coast day where it rains for eleven hours without pausing and the wind comes off the water sideways. Further east it shows up as an ice storm, or a front that crosses...

Packs into a travel pillow!
This is actually the best idea ever. I'm taking this with me on my trip down south in November so I don't freeze my buns off on my way home from the airport.

Perfect puffer for Fall or Winter
The brand has been around since the 70's, but this was my first time hearing about it. I like the throwback design on the patches with the modern look of the jackets. The price point for a 700 fill down jacket was way too good to pass up. I'm seriously impressed!

Warm with Good Quality
I'm constantly in and out of my truck visiting with clients so I tried the 3-in-1. I wear the fleece around all the time and just keep the shell in the back in case it rains. Can't believe how good the quality is, thanks guys!
