Sold Colorado FRS Antero II Plus Hardshell - new, without tags - size Large

[TheArchitect]

I changed my mind and am going to keep the jacket.

Dropping to $200 shipped before heading off to Ebay.

For those curious—L from FRS fits more like an xl in most brands.

$200 is a steal for such a high quality jacket.

Few additional thoughts:

- buying FRS secondhand, you are still likely going to have a great CS experience in the very unlikely scenario you should ever need it. (I speak from experience as someone who ripped a jacket when I misjudge a small drop.)
- you see those big chunky zippers? Yeah, they aren't svelte. But they are so easy to operate in crappy conditions and last forever. Source: have ~300 days in mine (same model, used from everything from inbounds, to backcountry, to hikes.)
- great hood/collar design.

Oh yeah, and it's Made in Colorado by people paid a living wage. So that's cool.

I have the exact jacket in this color and agree the L does fit lit an XL in everything else.
Mine has been durable and doesn’t show any noticeable wear after a full season as my primary jacket seeing maybe 75% of my 120ish days.
A color other than red and I would be PMing

After JMEB’s comments reminded me how great a jacket this is I’ve decided that I’m going to put it back in the closet. I’m sure someday I’ll decide to use it.

Nah, not a whoops. I wasn’t selling out of need; just a desire to make room in the closet.

Thanks to whomever changed the title to Sold. I couldn’t figure out how to do that on my iPad.
