Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

Looks big and nice, not having a shoulder strap with those thinner handles could be annoying.

Yeah, that's precisely the reason for my reticence!

Want a down vest upgrade from my Patagonia. Leather western style yokes, yay or nay?

 

[Fuuma]

A down vest cannot be upgraded, at least the patagonia is honest.

I don’t understand the allure of bags this big. Who honestly envisions themselves carrying something like that anywhere? It wouldn’t even fit in an overhead bin.

I use them to carry around my smug sense of superiority.

Train travel?

I do, although not often. If anyone lives on the West Coast, Amtrak's Coast Starlight should be taken at least once

 

[Fuuma]

How do you know zenos lives on the west coast of the usa?

Anyway pass, cord is a stupid fabric for luggage....

 

[Jonas251]

I don’t. I guess if you ride trails a lot on romantic weekend getaways bags of those sizes would be appropriate.

And all that summer tweed. Bulky stuff.

Guys...apologies for terrible photo quality...can I get an opinion on whether this Pyrenex jacket is too short ? It's meant to be a shorter down jacket anyway, but being 6'2" with very long legs I'm unsure if it looks ridiculous ? Other option is a medium length one with fur, but it doesn't have as nice a finish.
