The (Custom) Down T review.

When I first read about the "Down T's" I thought, "What a fucking JOKE!".

Well, turns out that the joke is on me (And so is the Down T!).

SDM1568 along with others slapped this CUSTOM "Down T" together for me as part of the running joke.

"Damn it Jim!"

Turns out it is one of the first pieces of clothing I grab on the chillier days out this way in the high desert.

I am TOTALLY sold on "Down T's".

LMAO!

Custom "Down T" and me

I very proudly wore my Custom Down T yesterday while running errands in town. When I walked into Nomad Ventures, the first thing Ryan said was, "You're wearing a short sleeve coat". That opened the door to explaining the "Custom Down T". They all got a good laugh out of the story.

After, I walked out the door even prouder knowing that I have a one of a kind CUSTOM DOWN T...

LMAO!

The custom DOWN T

I'm so jealous you have a hood! Stoked you're stoked on it. You'll get comments and looks everywhere you wear it. People either love it or hate you for loving it. o yea, welcome to the dark side

Looking back at 2015, though I hate to admit it, this thread resulted in one more down t leaving the Montbell retail shelf.

Maybe my best purchase of 2015, despite the derisive comments I get whenever I wear it (I'm sure it would be better received if I had a custom hood).

Now my wife just sent me this link

As long as you wear it with your guide pants!

The "Down T" saga continues.

Was at the local climbing store (Nomad Ventures) earlier picking up and delivering some work and one of the employees asked:

"What's that you're wearing? I've never seen one like it".

I then proceeded to tell her the story of the "Down T" and how the one I was wearing came about. There were quite a few customers in the store and most were listening. By the time I was done telling the story, we were all laughing pretty good.

All thanks to...

The "Down T".

Thanks again to all that were involved in making it. I love the thing!

LOL!

yukonjack,

I missed what you had posted the first time around.

Absolutely HILARIOUS dude!

Perfect!

Now I want a pair, too!

To be very fair, I think it was lurking this thread that started it all
mountainproject.com/v/dumbe…

But dammit that has become a useful piece. Not too hot, not too cold. Just right.

And now those puffy pants.....

There is no fair or unfair taking place on this thread.

This thread is about a CUSTOM MADE "Down T" that some of the posters here on Mt Project were kind enough to make for me.

hehehehe

so..would the puffy T and the puffy pants be worn together?

I can't figure it out. But the Siren is calling...

Without a doubt and at 61 I may even add in a pair of puffy Depends just in case.

That's what the puffy Depends are for.

I just know there's gonna be a 'LOST' post here one of
these days, Locker. . .

just sayin'

The thing is truly a "SMASH HIT".

As far as anything showing up "Lost" on this thread, you can bet it won't be my "Custom Down T"!

I wear it proudly and guard it with my life.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
