Steven doesn’t believe himself to be a penny pincher. He enjoys the finer things in life. But when the time came to put new skins on his 1995 Subaru Outback he also noticed Arcteryx’s Fall/Winter Catalog.
“The new Arcteryx line is just really revolutionary and totally worth the ungodly price tag. You can’t put a price on being respected on the mountain”
Both a set of Cooper Evolution (Mud & Snow) tires and a new Arcteryx windbreaker will set you back about $500. A small price to pay for safety or steez depending on what you value most. Steve wouldn’t be caught dead in a prior season Spyder garment from Marshalls. The same can’t be said about an aging Japanese horseless carriage that might skid off an embankment in inclement weather. There are important things to consider here: The back window of Steven’s Subie is almost completely covered by product stickers and decals from National Parks. The check engine light has been on since the last time pitchers and catchers were to report for Spring Training. And the driver’s side mirror has been replaced by a well polished Coors Light can. Naturally the correct answer here is Arcteryx jacket.
