Just wanted to share a little thing I have been doing lately. A lot of people are either for or against having a windshirt. Through a few errors of my own I ended up owning three; a Houdini, a First Ascent one and a homemade one made out of Momentum90. We tend to keep the house a bit cold (around 65) and I have been wearing the First Ascent with a baselayer T around the house. Then layering the R2 over it for around town and below freezing with possibly another windshirt or rain jacket over it if there is a good breeze, which there usually is. I am doing something similar now when out hiking with a down jacket also. I was thinking about waterproofing the heck out of the FA one and using it as a VB barrier also. So not only do I have something that works well in the shoulder seasons but integrate it as layering piece for the winter. The FA one is light grey so maybe not that one because that would be good in the summer for bugs and sun. So yeah, they are pretty flexible for 2-5oz.
