what is the lure of owning a $300 rain jacket

Yep, I think the brand was redram

I'm not sure how good it is; but they have Icebreaker on sale and some clearance items.

I have a sportsmans warehouse rain jacket, and I've worn it 2 times in 4 yrs, I think it was 80$. Now being from az all we ever wore was cotton, cabelas 6 pocket pants and cotton shirts. Moving to colorado, ive learned cotton will kill you. I love merino wool, and I love kuiu gear, that being said, I'll spend money on the good stuff that'll keep me warm and dry and my feet happy, but I shop on ebay, amazon, and whatever other deal site for the rest of my gear. But 3 bills for rain gear.. no thanks
