    100% polyester is nasty. Even Hallenstein coats are better value.

      uh, this is polar fleece for hiking (i know the description is trying to sell it for everyday use, but it's a hiking/outdoors store - it's a hiking jacket that can be used for urban use, not the other way round)..for a mid-layer, synthetic fleece has major advantages of being lighter and quicker drying (compared to 100% wool fleece, which i assume you're referring to). this price is indeed a good deal for polar fleece.

      that's like saying "latex is nasty - leather gloves are better value"…well, try washing your dishes or doing surgery in your leather gloves. different materials for different purposes.

      100% merino wool base-layer all the way, though!

      • Cyb3rGlitch on 12/07/2014 - 02:05

        The ones I'm referring to are 60% wool, 40% polyester. I understand that synthetics have their uses, but I would have thought those were for wicking properties at the base layer, rather than an outer layer like this.

        • caprimulgus on 12/07/2014 - 02:39

          ah fair enough…wool/poly blend is a bit different - it's a compromise between the two.

          it's a trade-off: synthetic fleece is lighter (warmth to weight ratio) and retains less moisture so dries quicker than wool. but wool has antibacterial properties (won't stink as much, so can wear it longer) and is more flame resistant (you probably don't want to sit in naked polyester fleece in front of the fire!). wool also tends to feel nicer.

          wool/synthetic blends are a compromise between the two…taking some of the benefits from both (but not being quite as good at them).

          for hiking, either one (synthetic or synthetic/wool blend) would do the job, just depending on what you care more about. i personally think merino (or blend) base-layer and synthetic fleece mid-layer is the way to go - the synthetic fleece is lighter and dries quicker. and since it's a mid-layer and doesn't sit against the skin, the feel doesn't really matter and the antibacterial property is not as important as for the base-layer. I don't think it's worth sacrificing the weight and quick-dry to go a blend.

          tl:dr - wool/synthetic blend can be a good option too, but 100% synthetic fleece mid-layer is definitely a valid (if not optimal) layering choice.

        This isn't for hiking. None of their altica wear is. You will wreck it if you brush against the wrong shrub.

        You only need a base if your jacket isn't wind proof. This jacket is not wind proof. With their better jackets any old tee or shirt is fine.

        But your right, This is an "engineered fabric" and feels different to the rubbish knit most polyester clothes use.

          i use the term loosely.

          and yes, the altica wear is made for "outdoor activities."

          (i understand that you're just exaggerating, to make the point this gear is not very durable, and probably wouldn't stand up to hard core hiking…which is probably fair. but my point was, this gear is intentionally synthetic, for the beneficial properties for use in "outdoor activities".)

          You only need a base if your jacket isn't wind proof. This jacket is not wind proof. With their better jackets any old tee or shirt is fine.

          say what? that depends ENTIRELY on exactly what hiking/walking/whatever you are doing, and what layering system you are intending to implement.

          plenty of people with a wind proof jacket wear a base layer.

        • This Guy on 12/07/2014 - 16:19

          @caprimulgus:
          Their clothes wears fine. I was just saying most of their "cheaper" jackets aren't made for hiking. You'll pull threads from the fabric but they still do their job. I've only torn their merino tee's.

          You can buy 3-4 layers of slightly different sized clothing. I'ld rather spend that money on one good jacket (when it's 70% off) and wear whatever I want under it.

        • caprimulgus on 12/07/2014 - 22:01

          @This Guy:

          yes they are. they are made for "outdoor activities" (Kathmandu's words). That includes trailwalking/light hiking. So yes they ARE made for hiking (maybe not very durably, or for vigorous hiking…but definitely for light hiking). But my point is, they are for "outdoor activities", not purely urban wear. You are being pedantic (and wrong).

          and yes, i will happily stick to layering, as most serious hikers do. But hey, you do whatever makes sense for you…

          This is a hiking jacket. It's 30 grams heavier, but wind, water and abrasion resistant.

          Even the Coast Track has overgrowth. Unless you count a light hike as a walk though the Royal Botanic Gardens, this Ascoli Coat is unsuitable from hiking.

          @This Guy:

          a ferrari is a car…that doesn't make a corolla NOT a car too.

          a "hiking jacket" is a jacket people use for hiking…different hiking jackets serve different hiking purposes. i'm sorry you are too stupid to understand this.

          clearly you are a hiking snob and/or idiot…let's leave it at that.

    Expect more deals from them as they have recently went into administration, Along with crazy Clarke and Sams warehouse all under the same holding group are folding up

    bargains for us but unfortunately alot of people will be out of a job.

      Looked at the news articles on this. Kathmandu was sold to private equity in 2006. It looks to be listed on the ASX. Kathmandu's name seems to be dropped into this by virtue of being founded by the same person that now owns the Crazy Clarks/Sams Warehouses group which are closing.

      So….the chances are they are clearing this jacket because it's simply unpopular and a little bit ugly, not because they are going into administration.

        Yes sparkles is correct, actually Kathmandu is doing really well financially. Their high profit margin / deep discount sales model is working very well for them…

        Kathmandu had ‘‘perfected the art of pricing a product at an exorbitant retail price then offering it at 60 per cent off to attract buyers’’, he said.
        ‘‘The adventure wear category has traditionally maintained integrity in retail pricing, but Kathmandu has changed all that,’’ he said.
        ‘‘The Kathmandu high-low pricing model where products are constantly on 50, 60 and 70 per cent discount, all year round, has forced the whole category to follow suit.’’
