First let me state, she felt terribly and I took it well. While they were one of our most used pieces of clothing, and came with us on many an adventure near and far, they are just jackets.
She put both of our Houdini jackets in the dryer on air dry but with a bunch of heavy wet items – big mistake – and both got shredded in places. So we've got to find a replacement and don't even know where to start.
I'm looking for the same level of breathability. If I remember right the Squamish is close but a little heavier.
I've heard Patagonia is redesigning the Houdini, but don't know if it will be as breathable as the pre-2012 or when it will come out, and we need something now.
Appreciate any suggestions.
It's hard to deal with the sudden and unexpected loss of a good friend and trusted colleague.
Goodbye pre-2012 Houdini, we will miss you very much.
