Anyone fondled or bought the new GTX Shakedry at the Katman?
I think (?) Zapruda you mightn't have a fondness for the Katman -not trying to be a smartA (ethically they at least are equal or surpass the Patagons) but I would be interested to know what you think of the material they have used in this next iteration-you are the only person I know of who can compare.
Feels like a nice Chamois leather and drapes just like that. Similar to the Hyperair?
Anyone let the moths roam free and bought one?
Wonder about the breathabilty compared to say the TNF Hyper? I know how you rate the Hyper Zapruda.
This jacket is a wee bit heavier but I think that is just the extra bits and bobs not the fabric.
They don't even say which variant of shakedry GTX it is, it's NOT even on all the labelling inside the jacket(and the shop assistants have not a clue what they are selling -we had a great old chin-wag and they were interested when I told them what it was
or was supposed to be at least) but it is hellishly soft. Mentions on the site -backpack useable. I offered to trial one for a discounted price as they told me they have not sold a solitary sausage even on sale.
At least they know how to be polite and said sorry, NO jacket for you.
$299- just a few years back this sort of price would be unheard.
