I like pitzips.

If it's pouring, I zip them closed.

But if it's not, they help me stay dry when I'm on the move. I sweat too much to contemplate a waterprrof/windproof shell without pits.

But I don't live in BC.



"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated." Thomas Paine
