Again everything in the shops is cut fashion skinny and I need to outfit this 10YO Femme-Fetale in training with some ski clothing. Specifically a LW overparka.
Something with minimal insulation but cut wide in the arm holes and sleeves. Time is in short supply so I just wanted to buy something cheap and if Cecile and I run out of oomph or time to make something, just cut the sleeves off short enough.
I just came back from a quick window shop at Anaconda and Rays/Macpac and while the kids ski gear is cheap and good again this season it is too skinny and too well insulated to work as an overparka for our mild but wet conditions.
So while down is great it won't work for this
If anybody spots something suitable could you please paste a link to it here for me please.
If time beats me I can always make up a lightly insulated poncho with a big hand warmer kangaroo pocket but I was hoping to get something less bulk as it will be carried in my pack
