Today, I use a UNIQLO, BLOCKTECH Parka | 3D Cut, (copy pasted) for hiking in rainy days and for snowboarding (with puffy decathlon jacket under if cold), and also for walking around Raincouver/Vancouver.

I have hiking pants and snowboarding pants.

I'm considering getting an outer shell to replace the UNIQLO $30 shell with no features, no vent, etc.

I've narrowed down to Beta AR or SV. Alpha SV seems overkill for my use, but open to it.

I tried them on (didn't have my helmet around though), and felt the SV hoodie is too massive. Doesn't feel as confortable or look as good. Thoughts?

For my wife, she wants the Alpha SV because she likes the pink, that's fine.

Then, I'm looking for a sunhoodie / a singular outer layer to wear in very hot days when hiking, moving around or doing standup paddle. Maybe the Ossa 1/2 zip?

yes it bumps against the trunk, I have to open it like a 180 degree awning, or open the trunk first then open the awning under it

i didn’t get a 180 degree awning because this was only $190 usd , a steal

yes the rhinorack pioneer 5 roof platform is wider than longer because it too is for a truck or Jeep. it’s 60*62 inch. that too was on discount because it’s probably taking up space unsold in warehouses

i like the overhang on the sides because it’s easier to climb on top though

you can tell it’s well attached by the bend on those T bolts /s

just kidding . Any ideas to secure 270 awning better

Should I drill through?
