Replying to Fur 101
The original Oakley fur was my favorite, very soft and full, yet was still able to retain its fluffiness after getting wet.
I was very disappointed when the anorak 2.0 came out with some of the shiestiest, thin and aesthetically unappealing fur.
This downhill progression was only worsened when the new cohort 3.5 was released with an even more pathetic attempt at mimicking what comes naturally to creatures of the forest. Lack of density, thin, brittle hairs and an ugly grey tone to finish it off.
Never having ordered anything from Obermeyer before, I was skeptical about what quality fur would come with the dub XL revert jacket. Very, very bushy and thick, very soft, with nice layering – a true northeast fur feeling. The tone – a mix of lighter “wheat” colors with the protruding black/darker tones blend exceptionally well.
