MEC T2 Zip Hoody Equivalent?

This looks a lot like Patagonia's Capilene 4 Hoody.

I have both the Cap 4 and T2 and the Cap 4 is slightly warmer and heavier.

The Cap 4 and the T2 are pretty close. Thanks.

But I am stunned to see the T2 is $51 Canadian, and sewn in Canada,
while the Cap 4 is $119 US, and sewn in Columbia, out of essentially the same fabric.

You're paying for the label/logo. There's a reason they call it Patagucci.

Take a look at the NWAlpine Black Spider.

you wont find anything equivalent with the same quality and fabric made in any 1st world nation at the same regular price comparable to the MEC one …

especially considering it has an no questions asked "scammer" warranty and MEC gives 1% back to good causes

thats the simple truth … many of the other brands sell the equivalent for up to double the price

ll bean has a powerdry 1/4 zip long sleeve for cheap, but no hoodie

i consider MEC to have the most practical, affordable patagucci cap4/R1 copies … especially when it goes on clearance for 25 smackaroos
