Pre-ebay sale: MH Phantom down jacket.

“I love the jacket but I've worn in exactly 3 times in a year of owning it. Since I made a rule I cannot have more then 30 jackets at one time I gotta get rid of one in order to get a new motorcycle jacket. The MH Phantom looks to be the victum, since I never wear it. Right at 15oz measured on my scales. Size Men's Medium. The fit is VERy similar to the Marmot Precip sizing. I'm 5'8" and 180lbs and it fits me great. I'm thinking about 1/2 of REI's current price will get it shipped to your door ($115). Really is a wonderful piece of gear, I just don't need 3 down jackets living in Alabama.



Me during one of the three times I actually wore the jacket.



I thought I would offer it to you guys before I throw it up on Ebay. Oh yeah, comes with the stuff sack.

“Did you do a number 1 on it?”

“Jacket at REI

I'm open to any offers too.”

“What's that about throwing up?


How about the rest of your wardrobe?”

“you think it would fit someone about two inches taller and roughly the same weight pretty good too?

How about with a couple of layers on as well (like a fleece)?

I'm interested!”

“You might want to check out MH's specs on their web page. I have a long torso and ususally have to but large sized packs. The sleeves might be a little short though. The fit is pretty much identical to my Marmot Precip anorak. I wore it with a long sleeve polypro, and a 100wt fleece jacket on underneath. Since I'm thicker then you (I wear a size 44 sport coat) you may be able to fit more underneath.”

“Very interested. I'm a little shorter and a little lighter, but built up top (18 inch neck). What forms of payment?

No, I don't do slavery or other forms of indentured servitude. :-)”

“Paypal (can't do credit thoug), check, mo?

18" neck? Jebus!”

“Yeah, its a b!tch when buying dress shirts off the rack. I gotta buy to fit my neck which usually makes the sleeves and body too long. Looks fine with a dress jacket over it but looks a little loose w/o. Anyway, complete tangent.

Let me check with my other half to clear it. I normally have my own gear cash stash but right now I'm lacking. Xmas has drained my reserves dry. I can do Paypal (wife's account, she loves ebay), probably easiest way to go...don't want to get blamed for any "broken lizard" incidents, know what I mean?”

“Just hit me up in the e-mail addy in my profile if you want it. It's also the Paypal addy ;)”

“Got the clearance. Emailing you now.”

“OK! When you get a "you've been blocked by spamware" thing just ignor it. I'll pull your e-mail outta the bucket when I get it.”

“*laughs at the pic*..sorry bro..that pic just looks funny..”

“hey, i got the women version of the jacket, and it is an awesome jacket. just though i'll let you all know. I paid over $200 for it.”

“Good choice of colors DDX.”

“You should have bought mine Gem. Could have saved yourself over $100 on a practically brand spanking new jacket ;)”

“Whatever happened to old broken lizard? I don't recall hearing about any incident.”

“It was about a month ago, maybe two. I don't remember the details, but he arranged to buy something. Received it after paying half, never sent the other half, then did and the check bounced. Didn't hear from him again after that post from the seller.

Someone else said they thought he did the same thing on backpacking.com.”

“yeah DeoreDX, but your jacket is too big. I did find the women version and bought it.”

“Payment made. Sent an email to your account, too.

C'mon big brown truck.”

“I was thinking a little red, white, and blue truck. Should get there in two business days that way ;)”

“Got your email, thanks for the tracking info. Don't care what colors it has, as long as its coming this way! :-)”

“Received in good condition. Too bad I can't try it out today - its suddenly warm and rainy in MD.
