    love me some JRB sleeves

    Ok so I finally bit the bullet on some JRB sleeves. I ordered on Friday and I got the tracking on Saturday email said they were here today got home hunted down the mail man and asked hilm if I could get my package. He handed me my JRB sleeves and I went on my merry way. So these things are awesome. I'm wearing them just sitting in the house and they are so warm. I plann on one mod however. cutting off the omnie and replacing with reinforced mitten hooks. So thanks jacks for the great service and a great product that will now be on all my winter trips
    Sometimes I like to hike and think, And sometimes I just like to hike.

    Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.

    Nice slipping them on on a cold morning for "breakfast from the hammock"!
    One use I find I do quite often is slipping them into the back of my pants in winter when I have a cold butt just standing around camp. Oh the joy.

    I've been seriously considering a pair of these but was worried about the fit. Are they adjustable for a wide variety of body types? Thought they could be more versatile in conjunction with my down vest vs. taking another full coat.
