On the quest to find the only Jacket made for me!
      #17473 - 02/07/10 02:27 AM Attachment (62 downloads)

I'm searching for a medium Blue/black combo gor-tex summit series XCR jacket. My guess is that is has been discontinued. However, I would still be open to purchasing a used one providing that it is in good condition. Attached is a picture. Any help you can offer would be appreciated

Hi, k9dude. Welcome to the site.

That pic you attached is of a knockoff.

Thank you, it's a great site. How can you tell that it is a knockoff? The Summit Series logo is on the proper sleeve, and there is a white tag on the inside of the jacket.

There are literally hundreds of these types of jackets for sale on Chinese auction sites for around US$30-$40. Have a look at this reference thread.
They tend to use the same stock photography style - here's one that's a slight variation of the jacket you attached.

Wow! Way to go, you're really on it! Did TNF ever make a style of jacket that even looked like this? If so, would you have a pic?

If your requirements are a black/blue summit series gore-tex jacket, I guess the Free Thinker II or Three Degrees Jacket.

The fake you found is based on the Realization jacket, however that is no longer a two tone model. All three jackets are for snow sports.

Hey Blackdog do you know the sizing comparison between the Free thinker II and the Three Degrees Jacket? I'm 5'10" 170 athletic build and the SMALL Free thinker II fits me loose... a bit too loose.

What size should I go for in Three Degrees Jacket? Since it's insulated.

As far as insulated Jacket sizes go... I git a MEDIUM RATHBONE hyvent jacket PERFECTLY... and that one is insulated too.

I'm sorry, I don't know particular the size details of those jackets. As you stated, there are definitely differences between models.
I was going to suggest backcountry's Q&A section, but I see you already posted there.

Buying off season can be tough. NexTag have them listed as available through TNF's online store but at full retail.
