It's one of my local stores. They are on it about that kind of stuff. Used to be a bunch of wannabe asses there. But now they are great. Go for it!

Backcountry.com has some really nice stuff, and some great sales on that stuff. I have ordered from them about 5 times. Once they messed up and sent me a womans running shoe instead of the hiking boot i ordered, but the sent it out right away overnight..and they send it to where i was vacationing too for the week. I think they went out of their way to make things right. I certainly was happy

I orded a North Face Denali jacket from them about a year ago and had no problems.

Isn't that a bit warm for Arkansas?

That's as heavy a jacket I'll ever need for AR, I do wear it for about 2 months out of the year, and then a bit in the mornings when it's chilly. Since I moved to Little Rock from Kansas City (which has real winters compared to AR) I have become a cold weather wuss, so a Denali jacket could seem overkill to someone with real winters.

We don't have real winters here, either. But the Denali is nice when we go up to the mountains and it's -15F.

the Denali is fine, until the wind starts to blow.

That's what the shell is for.

I have ordered from 2-3 times with no problems either.

you can fit a shell over a Denali?

wait, that's not even relevent to my original thought. i've had other fleece jackets that do a better job of blocking wind. i like the Denali as a cold weather jacket, but if it's windy, it stays in the closet, and i generally throw on the trusty Dickies Eisenhower.

Does it get cold in Tejas?

Shell definitely fits over a Denali. Although the combo of Denali & shell is actually too warm if there is *any* activity going on.

Hell, my shell even fits over this:

I like Backcountry cause they carry a lot of Mountain Hardware stuff... their jackets are simply amazing

good prices on most MH stuff too. I just ordered a new Technical Fleece because some bastard stole mine last winter :mumble:
