As I have mentioned before, I often look to Dane Burns' blog, Cold Thistle, for advice and opinions about gear, technique, etc for apline climbing. Though no blog is perfect and I don't always agree with his opinions, I usually do and I tend to trust his opinions more than most other climbing blogs. It is worth thoroughly investigating his blog if you're an ice/alpine climber and you haven't already. Dane has years of experience with alpine and ice climbing and knows gear as well or better than anybody I know of. Here's a link to his blog:

With that said, I just read a good review of the Arc'teryx Kappa Jacket on Cold Thistle. It was not written by Dane, but by Rafal Andronowski, one of Dane's friends. I have been curious about the Kappa Jacket for a long time, so it was nice to read a good review on it. I thought I would pass it along. Here's the link for the review on Cold Thistle, where I first read it:

and here's the link to check out Rafal Andronowski's blog, where the original gear review was written. Both blogs are worth checking out:
