Talusphere Pants

from REI

A Few of My Favorite Things

January 13, 2021

They are advertised as dry, light and flexible and they are! I bought them for more of a wind proof pant to go over a base layer while hiking. They are waterproof/breathable, windproof with a four way stretch. The stretch is important to me as I always find myself rock scrambling as well as hiking.

They were $89.50 and that seemed a bit expensive but compared to what other pants are going for, I guess they are reasonably priced. They have zipper pockets-I love zippered pockets. They also have ankle zips for easy on and off. They are not super attractive but as waterproof rain pants they are better than most of the ones I have. I bought a size Medium- they fit perfectly over a pair of pants.

Fjallraven Nuuk Insulated Parka - Women's

I got this jacket for my upcoming Svalbard trip in June. It’s waterproof/breathable, windproof and received lots of good reviews. But mostly, I liked the fit. it runs a bit large, I had on a bulky sweater when I tried it on and a Medium fit me perfectly, both in arm length and body length. Its a pretty heavy jacket at 3 lbs. 4.2 oz. Some folks online complained about the zipper-I have not found that to be an issue. If it becomes an issue my tailor will replace it-I love the jacket that much!

I also received $50.00 off by signing up for their newsletter. They included free shipping and their return policy is 30 days. If you run into any issues with the discount please contact the company directly, I have no affiliation with them. I’m just sharing my finds.

They advertise: Wind, rain and freezing temps are no match for the women's Fjallraven Nuuk insulated parka, which features a fixed fleece-lined hood with detachable faux fur and spacious bellow handwarmer pockets.

Yes to all the pockets!!

Exterior pockets: 2 fleece-lined handwarmer pockets; 2 chest pockets; 2 top-loading bellow pockets; 1 media pocket on sleeve.

Interior pockets: 2 large stretch mesh storage pockets; 1 media pocket with foxhole and cord holder; 1 safety pocket.
