    Core Rat

    Does anyone what happened to Core Rat Angie Wear? I am interested in their Delux jacket but the website cannot be reached. I tried various phone numbers with no success. Anyone knows if Angie Ho is still in business?
    Either you do it or you don't, you are probably right!

    Do you know of any other jacket that comes close? What is everyone else wearing to defeat the cold (30-40F)?

    In the 30* range, I really like my Marmot Driclime Windshirt...In the 40*s it can get a little toasty though. The exterior isn't made for crashing, though...which the Corerat looked wonderful for. That being said, in the tight/tree-branch-laden trails here in Austin, I have snagged several times (and crashed as well) and the Marmot has held up nicely.

    Long sleeve jersey , put a base layer under it if thats not enough . Alternate set up would be a jersey with a wind proof layer on top of it .
