Totally different side of the country, but has anyone ever compared Raleigh and Boise?

I have, actually. I mean, nothing official, but I live in Raleigh and my brother lives near Boise. Both very fast growing, both vibrant housing markets (though Boise’s is predicted to really lose steam / value as pandemic impacts cease), both offering really good access to outdoor activities.

Highly different in terms of feel, though - PNW personality in Boise vs the “modern South” in Raleigh / Durham. Weather is also obviously really different, and Raleigh offers access to great beaches two hours away. The political environment is also very different - Idaho is deep red (though Boise is a reddish purple), while NC is purple with the whole Raleigh / Durham area very squarely blue.

Have any specific questions?

Any recommendations for a men's hardshell jacket? It's my first winter in NYC but I'm also an avid hiker and high-altitude mountaineer so I want something that's technical, durable, and well-designed for the outdoors, but also practical for the streets or office. I'm eyeing the Arc'teryx Beta AR or LT and appreciate its use of pit-zips for breathability, but I'd appreciate it even more if I can find a jacket that's a bit more affordable than Arc'teryx. Any recommendations?
