I've tried some similar North Face and Mtn Hardware, however, none had the warmth that the OR had. I don't mind paying up to $70 if they last, but I have a hard time with $150 plus when I think about all the other stuff I can purchase for that price.
Dr. Carter G. Woodson, “History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.”
