[QUOTE="Tortuga, post: 1290654, member: 88975"] Like others have mentioned, the outer shell is just one of the three components (wicking, warming, weather). This method is very versatile and adaptable to many environments, much like the military 7-level Protective Combat Uniform (PCU). I like to keep my outer shell simple as it takes the brunt of the abrasion and wear. Simple and no-frills equal less expensive, especially when they are replaced every season or two. Gortex shells such as the Outdoor Research Foray in Coyote and the Marmot Minimalist in Deep Olive or Cinder are great examples. I'll spend a small fortune on base layers and marino wool, but they tend to last a lot longer.
