Seriously, though. HH is like NorthFace. They do make some Professional level equipment, but most of their 'civilian' line, while it's nice stuff, you're just paying for the label.
I could give a damn what you think is cute. If you do not think the Vanir Slidr Jacket is severe weather gear then you are showing your intelligence like the guy whose post you liked. It is their triple layer professional grade fabric with polyamide in exposure areas. It is lab rated at 20,000 grams/meter squared windproof, 15,000 grams/meter squared moisture vapor permeability and 20,000mm waterproof in the column test. On top of that the exterior is extremely durable making it practical for climbing. Severe weather gear enough for you? Want more information? Cute?
You may be right about their civilian,casuel line. This is not part of their civilian, casuel line. This is the beginning or entry level into their professional grade line which has quite a reputation world wide for over 123 years. And to think you can get a jacket at this level for $60 - $87 in certain sizes and colors because of some crazy end of season sale and have to listen to snarky comments from the fella whose post you liked, is asinine.
