warm weather jacket recommendations (nklr)

[Harry Thames]

I'm hoping to spend a couple of weeks in Colorado in June. Would a Colorado Lister give me some advise on where to go and what to see (I promise not to stay knowing how much you natives dislike transplants)? Also, what tires do you recommend for all round adventure touring in your fair state? Harry Thames South Carolina

We don't mind transplants, if they're like you. It's the THYBFs we don't like. Anyway, that's a tall order, there's quite a bit to see and do. I like the Southern part of the state, less people there. The San Juans are awesome, and along the way there are small canyons (my neck of the shrubs), The Wet Mountains (Bishop's Castle is here), The Sangre de Cristo Range (Highway of Legends and Cordova Pass), In the San Luis Valley is - The Great Sand Dunes NP/NM, The Gator Farm (yes, there are alligators in the mountains), and The Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad (narrow gauge steam)-, Then the San Juans (Gold Camps, Ghost towns (like Crystal), High mountain passes (Imogene, Engineer, and Black Bear), and the Durango and Silverton Railroad. OMG, I could go on and on, I love this state! "Swede"

Ah, yes, South Park - Hartsel, Fairplay, Alma, Como, Florissant, Divide, and Woodland Park. Not to mention Cripple Creek and Victor. Delightfully tacky and yet unrefined. Forgot the Wet Valley and The Spanish Peaks, whose real name in Ute means "The Breasts of the World". "Swede"

Who would like a THYBF? I mean they're ugly, smelly, arrogant, and eat yellow snow. OK, I have no idea what a THYBF is...can anyone enlighten me or am I better not knowing? dat brooklyn bum

I haven't been following this thread, but has anyone mentioned the Hein Gericke Taureg jacket? It's not waterproof at all, but it's well armored and looks like a breather. Mark B2 A2 A3
