Lend me a heavy winter jacket or coat?

[opabinia]

OK, I'm going to Yosemite. I don't own a really warm jacket or coat with windbreaking/water-resisting properties. I'm not concerned about style or color -- just warmth and dryness. Anyone have something they can lend me for nine days?

(I'll probably find something in a thrift shop, but I'd like to have a backup, just in case.)

Yosemite? WTH?

My woman has decided that we will visit California for seven days. Three of those days are to be spent in Yosemite.

depending on when you're planning on going you can borrow my Marmot shell (I think we're roughly the same size?) I wore it up to the summit of Kilimanjaro, and use it regularly for skiing and snow stuff, so it definitely does the windbreaking/water resisting thing well.

Note: it doesn't have any insulating material (just the shell), as I'm a firm believer in just wearing multiple layers that can be added or shedded as appropriate rather than investing most of my warmth in a big puffy jacket

Hey, let us know if you're in SF and want the local tour-guiding or recommendations.

Also, Yosemite rules.
